I am pretty positive my husband is severely dyslexic. His early education was in another country though, and the schools here don't test for it.

The only place I found was a company that charged $700 to have a bunch of professionals decide on a diagnosis...

As he doesn't go to a school he can't see a school psychologist.

Can a plain old psychologist test for dyslexia?

  1. If a college near you has a special ed program they will do it (at least my school does) even if he doesn;t go there.

    And yes most psychologists do it, that's where i was tested when i was little.  Just call one and if they don't do it they will know someone who does.


  2. you may want to look into your insurance company to see if there is anyway you can get coverage to do a psychological exam.  They can do an extensive battery of assessments to see what the issue may be.  

    He should talk with his primary care physician to get a referral.  There are companies out there but I would be leery.
