TESTIMONIALS
"Hands down the best in Billings!"
Hands down, the BEST IN BILLINGS! Our kiddo was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and dysgraphia as a 2nd grader. We have sought out help at several other places in town but have been impressed since day 1 with Kelly Haggerty and her team. We are always greeted warmly and in a way that resonates with our kiddos’ needs. THANK YOU guys for a LIFE-CHANGING experience!

We have seen such an improvement in both of the kids and their confidence level is just growing. I really appreciate the tutors and how they respond with the kids. This is best thing for the kids. The kids enjoy coming to their classes. Love the staff they are very caring.

Thank you for all the great help for my daughter. I can't tell you how much me and my wife appreciate it and I think the teachers may (appreciate it) even more so. It just seems like it's just changed her in so many ways ... with confidence and everything else. I know it's just reading but it really is surprising the confidence it gives her being able (to read) better... I would make this payment before my mortgage payment! The only thing I regret is we did not start earlier.

FAQs
-
Can you screen adults for dyslexia?Absolutely! We screen adults who are entering college, going back to college, furthering their education and training, are well established in a current career, or who just want to know if they have dyslexia.
-
What can the Screening report be used for?The final report shows severity of Dyslexia and co-occurring difficulties such as Dysgraphia. This report can be used to ask for academic and job accommodations. Schools, universities, and employers may vary in what they require to provide accommodation services. Whatever season you or your child are in, this report can be used for documenting dyslexia throughout the rest of you or your child's life.
-
How do I schedule a screening?Before scheduling a screening, we do a complimentary consultation call that takes about 20-30 minutes to go over our screening process, the warning signs of dyslexia, and answer any additional questions you may have. You can call our office during business hours to talk with one of our Certified Dyslexia Specialists to complete this consultation.
-
How long does it take to get the results?After your scheduled screening appointment, it takes about 7-10 days for the results to be ready to go over with the Certified Dyslexia Specialist. You will go over the report with them either in person or online. This review of the results takes about an hour.
-
Do you take Insurance?We are unable to take insurance for the screening and tutoring sessions. We are able to take Health Savings Account (HSA) payments from most providers. If you would like to use your HSA card, please let us know.
-
How long does the screening take?On the day of your scheduled screening, expect to spend about 2 hours at our office (or online if you are getting screened remotely). For children getting screened, we usually have a parent join the Certified Dyslexia Specialist for a few minutes at the beginning for the child to get situated. After that, the parent is free to wait in the lobby or leave and come back when the screening is complete.
-
How young do you screen?Our screening is designed for individuals at least midway through Kindergarten. If you are seeing signs of Dyslexia before your child has reached this point in their education, we have some resources that can assist you until they are old enough to be screened.
-
What program do you use for tutoring?Our tutors are trained in the Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham program, that is designed specifically for individuals with dyslexia. This program is optimized by one-on-one sessions catered to the needs of each tutor student.
-
How long are tutoring sessions?Each session lasts 50 minutes and we recommend doing at least two sessions per week.
-
Is remote as effective as in person?We have found that remote tutoring is just as effective as in person. We have digital tools that allow the student to be actively engaged in tutoring online just as if they were in the office.
