Can a non-verbal 11-year-old be tested for dyslexia? She has almost no expressive language at this time, but her receptive language is close to normal. She is reading at about a 4–5th grade level, though her comprehension/retention is lower. She communicates primarily through writing questions and answers, but her handwriting is frequently hard to read. I am from Texas. If she can be successfully tested, can you recommend a testing location?

Please send information for young adults testing for dyslexia as well as providers, if possible. The evaluation is for my 25 year old son. When he was younger, he had several evaluations. School, for him, was always a struggle. After high school, he's been drifting and is wanting to complete college. We need to have a current testing composite for him. I'd prefer a comprehensive program like Boston Children's Hospital only for 25 + yrs. My son lives in Houston. Is there a specialist you recommend in Houston? Or, is there a comprehensive program in another city you highly recommend?
