Dyslexia and Learning Disability Testing in Orange County

Clear, comprehensive evaluations for children, teens, and adults who need to understand persistent difficulties with reading, writing, math, memory, processing speed, or academic performance.

BonPsy Wellness provides private-pay psychoeducational and learning-disability testing in Mission Viejo. The goal is to identify a person’s learning profile, clarify whether a specific learning disorder is present, and provide practical recommendations for school, college, work, treatment, and daily life.

Common Reasons Families and Adults Seek Testing

• Reading remains slow, effortful, or inaccurate despite practice
• Spelling or written expression is unexpectedly difficult
• Math facts, calculations, or multi-step problems are hard to retain
• School performance does not reflect effort or ability
• Homework takes much longer than expected
• Attention, anxiety, language, or executive-function concerns may overlap with learning problems
• Documentation is needed for an IEP, 504 plan, college, workplace, or standardized-testing accommodations

What the Evaluation May Examine

The evaluation is individualized to the referral question and may include cognitive abilities, academic achievement, reading and phonological processing, writing, mathematics, attention, executive functioning, memory, processing speed, rating scales, developmental history, and relevant records. Measures are selected during the paid clinical intake rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all battery.

Understanding Dyslexia and Other Learning Differences

Dyslexia is a learning disorder involving persistent difficulty with accurate or fluent word reading, decoding, and spelling. Other learning disorders may primarily affect written expression or mathematics. Testing also considers alternative or co-occurring explanations, including ADHD, anxiety, language differences, educational history, and broader cognitive or developmental factors.

What You Receive

A comprehensive evaluation includes the paid clinical intake, individualized testing, scoring and interpretation, review of relevant records and rating scales, a written report, a feedback session, and practical recommendations. Recommendations may address instruction, accommodations, treatment planning, assistive tools, and strategies for home, school, college, or work. Eligibility and accommodation decisions are made by the receiving institution.
