ANDREWS UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR READING, LEARNING & ASSESSMENT OFFERS DYSLEXIA TESTING AND OTHER SERVICES


The Andrews University Center for Reading, Learning & Assessment offers assessments and interventions for multiple learning disabilities to both students and community members. One important service is dyslexia intervention.

“One in five students in the U.S. are affected by dyslexia,” says Susan Barton, dyslexia and ADHD expert.

Testing services offered by the UCRLA include:

  • Full psycho-educational assessments
  • Educational assessments
  • Cognitive assessments
  • ADHD assessments
  • Dyslexia or reading disability assessments

In addition to testing services, the UCRLA offers interventions for memory, cognitive and language processing issues. They also offer one-on-one sessions for those dealing with dyslexia, preparing for the GED, or looking for study strategies.

“You or someone you know is probably struggling with reading, and as a result, learning becomes overwhelming,” says Annabelle Lopez, consultant for the UCRLA. “And that’s why we’re here—to help.”
