Diagnosis and Treatment for Dyslexia & Learning Problems
At the Dyslexia Diagnostic and Treatment Center, we provide comprehensive evaluations to accurately diagnose Dyslexia and learning disorders and provide intensive treatment in both individual and small-group settings. We also offer treatment via video-conferencing so your child can receive help in the comfort, and convenience, of your own home.
Dr. John Carosso, Licensed Child Psychologist and Certified School Psychologist will assess your child for all contributing factors to reading issues including dyslexia, attention or motivation problems, frustration, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
We use research-proven multi-sensory strategies incorporating the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic senses to promote learning. We utilize your child’s homework in the treatment process, which allows for receiving treatment and getting your homework done at the same time.
Our tutors will work with your child one-on-one and in real-time. All of the readings and activities are done just as they would be in an in-person lesson. Tutors will interact with the students, mark pages, move tiles, and type words and sentences.
Dyslexia is actually a problem with the processing of language; kids have difficulty processing the sequence of sounds that comprise spoken words. Consequently, you get words like “psghetti” and “amninal.” Interesting, these kiddos genuinely don’t ‘hear’ themselves saying the words incorrectly so it’s difficult for them to self-correct.
The Foundation of Treatment
All of the effective strategies are based on a ‘multi-sensory’ approach that incorporates, in the learning process, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. A child may be shown the word, asked to say the word, hear it spoken by the teacher, write the word on paper, and write the word or letter (using a finger) on a rough surface.

Finally someone who listened and helped us! Dr. Carosso was very attentive to our concerns with our son. He was very thorough and explained things in a way we could understand. He was kind to our son and made him feel comfortable.

Straightforward and kind leaning assessment of my son. Very relaxed and quiet atmosphere. At the end we had a diagnosis that made sense and a plan to move forward. When you spend years worrying and guessing a plan and support is all you really want.
