I am a college graduate and really struggled my last year with large amounts of reading and timed exams. As I have gotten older, I have become interested in going back to school for my MBA. However, the GMAT required for admission is timed and I am currently testing terribly. Any and all suggestions on companies and programs that have great proven results would be appreciated. I need to build my reading skills and get my intellectual confidence back up.

I am in the same position of enjoying the CTOPP-2 and wishing there were another form. How long should you wait between administrations? I am not finding anything in the manual other than the test/retest reliability was done between 1 and 2 weeks (and reliability was still high). I need to do an evaluation to measure progress. A private evaluator gave the CTOPP-2 in August 2017, which is the tool that I have available to me in my setting. Is 8 months of time between sufficient?

I have been looking at these fonts but can't say how good these are for use in documents that dyslexic people read. Here they are: Spartan MB,Gothic A1. Are these good fonts? Thank you for reviewing and assessing these.

Is there a difference in dyslexia testing protocols for children (7–12 years) versus teens (13–17 years) versus adults (18–21 years)?

As I review your site, I see age groups for tests. These age groups end at 25 years of age. Can testing be performed in older adults? I am 51 and have always wondered about some level of challenge. Finally reaching a time in life when I can pursue some answers, I am looking to identify professional testing but wonder if I may be considered to have reached an age of developed potential coping skills preventing testing or diagnosis.

When I read, I read backwards at times, go over sentences, go up the sentence, and look at the spacing between words. Many of my friends thought it was dyslexia. Could that be possible? I also am wondering what the difference is between a learning disability and a vision problem.

I am seeking clarification for distinguishing word retrieval problems as opposed to rapid automatized naming. What is the difference?

My brother is 19 years old and has dyslexia. He didn’t finish his schooling and is studying an animation course. He is doing well now but is having trouble reading. Could you please suggest some books or send some books or CDs so that his reading can improve? It would be very helpful.

Thank you so much in advance.

I ran across your website and wanted to ask you for some advice. I recently met with my niece who is almost 30 years old and she told me she has never finished a book and she thinks she is dyslexic. I wanted to send her a young adult book in an area she is interested in and encourage her to read it and we can talk about it when she is finished. What do you think?

I am writing on behalf of my brother. My brother is 55 years old, black, and was born dyslexic. At this point he can only read on a second or third grade level. He wants very much to vote in this coming presidential election. (It will be the first time he has voted in his life). I have a plan for helping him do this (memorizing the ballot and early or mail in voting). However, what we really need is a credible, effective, and dedicated service/tutor resource etc. that can work with him to help him learn to read. Are you aware of any resources in Virginia that you can recommend?
