Diagnostic Evaluations
Comprehensive diagnostic language evaluations, completed online from your own home, providing insights into language-based challenges affecting academic, social and professional success.
At the heart of our comprehensive evaluation process, our evaluations assess a spectrum of language skills crucial for success in academic
settings. We delve into receptive and expressive language abilities, phonological processing, narrative comprehension, writing, spelling, and
vocabulary development. Through a combination of standardized tests and clinical observations, we offer a nuanced understanding of a
child's language profile.
We investigate how well a child recognizes and manipulates speech sounds, which forms the basis of reading and spelling abilities and are crucial skills for academic success.
We take an in-depth look at all levels of reading and writing to determine the core source of any weaknesses, and look at the impact it has on higher level skills.
We assess a child's capacity to articulate thoughts coherently, formulate sentences with correct grammar and syntax, and convey ideas effectively, as well as their understanding of these things.
Often overlooked, we examine the emotional impact deficits have on a child's school performance and social success. We include a thorough case history and review developmental milestones and previous treatment.
Opting for a private evaluation at The LD Expert ensures expertise that focuses solely on your child's needs. Unlike school evaluations, often conducted by generalists, our assessments are administered by specialized professionals with a deep understanding of how language impacts all areas of academics. We offer comprehensive insights into a child's language profile, including subtle nuances often overlooked in school settings. Our personalized approach considers emotional factors, ensuring a comfortable testing environment conducive to accurate results.
Experience the convenience and validity of online testing, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of your child's language skills from the comfort of your own home. Our virtual assessment services maintain the same level of professionalism and accuracy as traditional in-person evaluations. Eliminate the need for travel and disruptions to your schedule while still receiving expert insights into your child's needs, during times that work best for them. With our secure and efficient testing, you can trust that the evaluation process is conducted with integrity and precision, ensuring reliable results tailored to your child's unique circumstances.
Simple steps to get started.
During this free consultation, we'll gather detailed information about your child's development, educational experiences, and your concerns. You then complete a full case history that allows us to tailor the evaluation to your child's unique needs. Our collaborative approach ensures that we provide the most personalized and effective assessment possible.
Experience thorough and comprehensive testing spread across multiple sessions, totaling approximately 6-8 hours. A speech language pathologist (SLP) will administer a battery of assessments to assess various aspects of your child's language and literacy skills, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and areas for growth.
During this 90-minute session, your SLP will walk you through the findings, interpretations, and recommendations in detail, ensuring your full understanding of the results and their implications. We'll discuss actionable next steps and collaborate with you to develop a tailored plan to support your child's growth and success.

Answers to frequently asked questions
We love to hear from you!
Each one of our schools has unique needs. We want to hear directly from you about your programs, community, and expectations...
This free 30-minute consultation is held via Zoom. We will dive into understanding your school's needs and preferences, but we also want you to get to know us. We'll answer all of your questions and provide you with details about our services, teacher qualifications, pricing, scheduling options, data tracking, and more.
The LD Expert strives for professionalism in all of our operations. Our School-Based Services Contracts can be signed digitally.
At any time, you are permitted to make changes to your schedule or decide that our services are not a good fit for your school. Even though your contract is signed for a year, we ask for 30-days notice to terminate the contract without any early termination fees.
At LD Expert, we pride ourselves on being fexible and accommodating with scheduling. Our team of teachers can see students during the school day according to your unique bell schedule, after school, or in the evenings. We will work with you to find days and times that fit your school's needs.
For Wilson Students Only:
The Wilson Reading System has a great initial assessment called the Wilson Assessment of Decoding and Encoding (WADE). This assessment takes about 30-45 minutes, and is completed virtually. Your student will just need access to a writing utensil and printer (to print the pages for writing on prior to our scheduled meeting time).
After the assessment is complete, we will write up a report summarizing the results and share it with you. This assessment will guide us on choosing the appropriate starting point in the program based on your student's individual needs.
Once we have received your signed contract, lessons can offically begin! Teachers will send families, students, and teachers an introduction email that includes instructions about how to log into their Zoom Meeting Room.
It is a good idea to have an adult present or accessible the first couple sessions, but students catch on very quickly and are typically able to log-in without assistance after the first couple sessions.
LD Expert utalizes an online platform for billing, scheduling, data tracking, and communication. Families, school administrators and/or teachers will be given login information to access student data at any point in time. The data would include lesson summaries, encoding errors, decoding errors, and assessment results.
Additionally, after each lesson, our teachers write-up a summary of the lesson and it can be emailed to parents, teachers, or adminsitrators directly with a single click!
