At The Learnability, we believe every child has the potential to learn and thrive. But unlocking that potential often requires personalized insight into how they learn best. That’s why we offer Lindamood Bell® Assessment and Orton Gillingham Assessment services two scientifically backed tools designed to identify learning challenges and guide targeted interventions. Whether your child struggles with reading, comprehension, or language processing, these assessments provide a clear roadmap to success.
Why Early Assessment is Crucial for Academic Success
Many learning difficulties, such as dyslexia or language processing disorders, go undetected in traditional classroom environments. Without early intervention, these challenges can compound, affecting not just grades, but also confidence, motivation, and emotional well-being.
Early identification through assessments like the Lindamood Bell® Assessment and the Orton Gillingham Assessment allows for immediate, effective support. These tools go beyond basic testing they dive deep into how your child thinks, processes, and learns, making it easier to design personalized educational plans.
What is a Lindamood Bell® Assessment?
The Lindamood Bell® Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that measures sensory-cognitive functions critical for reading, spelling, comprehension, and math. This assessment identifies underlying causes of learning difficulties rather than just surface-level symptoms.
Key Features of Lindamood Bell® Assessment:
- Evaluates imagery-language connections
- Measures auditory and visual processing skills
- Assesses phonemic awareness and comprehension
- Pinpoints cognitive weaknesses affecting learning
After the assessment, families receive a detailed report outlining strengths, challenges, and actionable recommendations. At The Learnability, we use this data to develop a fully customized intervention plan tailored to your child’s unique needs.
Understanding the Orton Gillingham Assessment
The Orton Gillingham Assessment is rooted in a structured, multisensory, and phonics-based approach to reading. It is especially effective for students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. This assessment measures a student’s decoding ability, phonemic awareness, spelling proficiency, and reading fluency.
What Makes the Orton Gillingham Assessment Effective?
- Multisensory evaluation methods
- Diagnostic and prescriptive in nature
- Helps identify gaps in phonological processing
- Aligns closely with specialized instruction programs
At The Learnability, we administer the Orton Gillingham Assessment as part of our initial intake process for students struggling with reading and spelling. This ensures that interventions align precisely with individual skill levels and learning styles.
