I have a nine-year-old son who I believe may have dyslexia. I have checked into getting him tested but it would cost me over $1,300, unfortunately, that is more than I can afford at this time. My friend said that you might be able to help me out on either getting him tested or some recommendation of other places to have him tested. She also said that if there are some tests that you can give me or the names of some tests that he can take that will assist in me finding out if indeed he is dyslexic I would so appreciate it
