Comprehensive Dyslexia Testing at Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian

Written by Camille Davis Hayes | Oct 28, 2026, 1:00:02 PM

When reading takes more effort than you expect, it can leave you with questions. You may be wondering about your child's learning needs or looking for answers about your own experiences with reading and spelling.

Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian now offers private dyslexia testing to help you make sense of reading challenges and explore support that fits your life. Dr. Camille Davis Hayes, PsyD, LPC, will guide you through the evaluation, walk through your findings with you, and discuss practical next steps for school, work, and everyday life. Together, you can turn questions about learning into a clearer understanding of your needs.

testing standards in Texas

A new state law (HB 3928) requires Texas districts to provide special education services to students with dyslexia, and simultaneously raised the standards for who can evaluate those students - leaving a gap between students who deserve an evaluation and the number of professionals who can help them move forward. Families may face long waits, so a private evaluation gives them documentation to bring to their school’s ARD or 504 process.

Dyslexia Testing 101

  • Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian offers private dyslexia testing as a distinct service for people seeking answers about reading and learning concerns.
  • A comprehensive evaluation considers your history and assessment results together, rather than relying on a brief screening alone.
  • Written findings help explain your results, including whether the assessment supports a dyslexia diagnosis and what findings mean.
  • Individualized recommendations can guide conversations about support at school or work, although evaluation results do not guarantee accommodation eligibility.
  • Adults who were never tested as children can gain insight that may help them excel academically and professionally. 

Why Consider a Dyslexia Evaluation?

A dyslexia evaluation can help clarify what is contributing to reading and spelling difficulties. The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity explains that evaluation brings together history, observation, and assessment results to determine whether dyslexia is present.

You might be seeking answers after ongoing school concerns or wondering about challenges that were never evaluated when you were younger. You can discuss those experiences with Dr. Davis Hayes and her team in Midlothian to learn if this service is the right fit for you or your family.

How Does dyslexia Screening Differ From Dyslexia Evaluation?

Screening identifies possible risk; a comprehensive evaluation investigates the reasons behind reading difficulties. The International Dyslexia Association describes evaluation as a process that combines background information and testing to identify strengths, challenges, and recommendations.

Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian's psychological testing services include educational assessments that can help identify learning differences. For this dyslexia-focused service, your questions  -- and concerns about learning and academic performance -- guide the conversation about evaluation.

Written Findings and Practical Next Steps

Your detailed dyslexia evaluation includes a written report and individualized recommendations to help you understand the findings. Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian provides an opportunity to review results and discuss how they relate to your family's daily life.

Recommendations may address school, workplace, or testing accommodations and resources for understanding your learning needs. You can bring documentation to accommodation discussions, but a private evaluation does not automatically establish eligibility for a particular service or support.

If you would like general background before reaching out, Camille's overview of psychometric testing explains the broader assessment process. Your dyslexia evaluation's specific scope, timing, and fees should be confirmed directly with the office. You can ask plenty of questions about the evaluation before deciding to move forward; we're not here to pressure you, just to offer help when you need it.

faqs About Dyslexia Testing

Will a screening tell me if I have dyslexia?

A screening alone does not diagnose dyslexia. It can flag concerns that warrant further evaluation. Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian's dyslexia evaluation provides written findings and recommendations based on a more comprehensive assessment.

Can I ask about concerns missed during childhood?

Yes, you can bring questions about longstanding reading and spelling challenges to the team. Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian can discuss your history and help determine whether its dyslexia testing service fits your needs.

Does a private evaluation guarantee school accommodations?

No. A private evaluation can provide documentation and recommendations for accommodation discussions, but it does not guarantee eligibility. Lifeologie Counseling Midlothian helps you understand your findings so you can have a more informed conversation about support.
