This 15-item instrument screens for risk indicators across handwriting, spelling, orthographic memory (how the brain stores letter patterns), and written expression. Screening is not diagnostic; elevated results indicate that a comprehensive evaluation of writing skills is warranted.
If several of these patterns sound familiar, the next step is a conversation. We will hear what you are seeing, tell you honestly what we think is going on, and point you toward the right next step. No diagnosis is required.
A quick conversation helps us hear your concerns and guide you to the next steps. We will get you set up to start tutoring, an independent academic evaluation, or a home learning kit, or send you to the professionals who can help if we cannot.
We are committed to working against the way that racial and socioeconomic privilege manifests itself in the identification and remediation of learning disabilities.
We do what we can by offering need based scholarships, doing pro-bono consultation for families with economic needs, providing services in some of Maine's lowest resource schools, and working with educational advocates on the toughest cases to help ALL students get what they need.
