- By secure video
Questions districts ask
- Does this cover dyslexia?
- Yes. Texas treats dyslexia identification within the SLD framework, and the report addresses it directly when reading is the referral concern.
- Do you need our RTI or MTSS data?
- Send whatever intervention data exists. Progress data strengthens the evaluation, but a missing binder does not stop the clock, so we work with what you have.
- Can the evaluation be done in Spanish?
- Yes. Bilingual SLD evaluations are conducted by evaluators licensed to test in Spanish, which matters when the question is difference versus disorder.
- Will the evaluator attend the ARD?
- Yes, as an added ARD participation line at the published hourly rate.
- What does the district need to provide?
- Signed consent, the referral packet, a testing space on campus, and a contact who can confirm the schedule.
