Learning Disability Testing in Utah
Your child is smart. They try. And they're still falling behind. A learning-disability evaluation identifies exactly where the gap is, whether it's dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or an NVLD — and gives you a report that schools actually act on.
Who This Is For
- K–12 students falling behind in reading, writing, or math
- College students failing to replicate high-school performance
- Adults seeking workplace or graduate-program accommodations
- Gifted children who may also be 2e (twice-exceptional)
Signs to Watch For
- Reading level below grade expectation despite effort
- Spelling and handwriting that seems stuck years behind peers
- Math fact recall or problem sequencing that doesn't stick
- Bright conversation and weak written output — a striking gap
- Homework takes 2–3× what teachers estimate

Frequently Asked
About Learning Disability
Will my child's school accept the report?
Yes. CPS psychoeducational evaluations are routinely used by Utah public, private, and charter schools for IEP and 504 decisions. We format reports to match what schools need.
Can adults get tested for dyslexia?
Absolutely. Many adults finally get evaluated when they start graduate school, a professional licensing exam, or a high-stakes role that exposes a lifelong struggle. Our report supports testing accommodations.
