The Dyslexia Foundation of Memphis provides a screening test for dyslexia. This is actually a battery of tests to determine if a student’s academic difficulties stem from dyslexia.
This is not a full-scale psychological evaluation. However, it is detailed enough to identify a student’s proficiency in dealing with language, both oral and written. The battery includes tests in the areas of:

• Short term memory
• Speech irregularities
• Accuracy and fluency of reading
• Reading comprehension
• Visual perception and processing
• Auditory perception and processing
• Eye / hand co-ordination

The cost of the evaluation is $175.00 which includes:

• Testing by a trained examiner
• Evaluation
• Appointment with a licensed psychologist
• Interpretation of test results

If a student has been tested within the previous two years, there is only a $50.00 referral fee. A copy of the previous evaluation, which should be no more than two years old, should be submitted with the fee. This fee covers:

• Review by a licensed psychologist
• Referral to program for eligible students
