Testing
Testing services provided:
Woodcock-Johnson® IV Assessment
This comprehensive test allows us to evaluate learning problems, prescribe individualized intervention and measure progress. The WJ IV emphasizes the identification of strengths and weaknesses in student thinking by providing comparisons between the student and other students the same age or in the same grade, as well as providing a way to measure progress over the course of intervention.
Test takes around 4 hours to administer and comes with a full report along with curriculum suggestions, at home activities, and helpful teaching tips. Also included is a conference to explain results.
$375
Feifer Assessment of Reading
The FAR is a comprehensive assessment of reading and related processes that will help us determine the student’s specific subtype of reading impairment in order to make decisions about appropriate interventions. This test takes a neurodevelopmental approach to reading, which examines parts of the reading process such as phonemic awareness, fluency, decoding, and comprehension. It is based on the premise that treatments for reading disorders vary by dyslexic subtype, with four specific subtypes addressed: dysphonetic dyslexia, surface dyslexia, mixed dyslexia, and reading comprehension skills.
The test takes 2 hours to administer and comes with a computer-generated report.
$150
Feifer Assessment of Math
The FAM is a comprehensive assessment of mathematics designed to examine the underlying neurodevelopmental processes that support the acquisition of proficient math skills. It is unique in that it helps you identify specific subtypes of dyscalculia to help inform intervention decision making. The test comprises 19 individual subtests measuring various aspects of math fact retrieval, numeric and spatial memory, perceptual estimation skills, linguistic math concepts, and core number sense development. Yields three index scores representing each dyscalculia subtype (Verbal Index, Procedural Index, and Semantic Index) as well as a Total Index score that represents total test performance.
The test takes one hour to administer and comes with a computer-generated report.
