Dyslexia Screener
WIAT Dyslexia Index

Purpose:

A screener designed to identify students at risk for dyslexia or specific learning difficulties in reading. This tool provides an initial indication of whether further comprehensive assessment is warranted.

What it measures:

It draws on specific WIAT subtests to assess core skills linked to dyslexia, including: phonological processing, decoding and word reading, spelling/encoding, orthographic processing, reading fluency

Why Parents and Schools Choose It

  • Early identification – helps flag risk before reading failure becomes entrenched
  • Evidence-based – grounded in a widely used, standardised achievement test
  • Practical and efficient – shorter than a full psychoeducational assessment
  • Guides next steps – indicates whether a full diagnostic assessment is needed
  • Supports school planning – provides data to inform targeted literacy intervention

It’s often used when a child shows persistent reading or spelling difficulties despite instruction.

Approximate Time:

30–45 minutes (depending on age and number of subtests administered)

Cost:

$300-350 depending on number of subtests administered (inclusive of written report and recommendations)
