“I reached out to the school district, and they said they don’t test homeschool kids.”
☝️Sound familiar? Many parents that I speak with have had this experience and then they don’t know where to turn. Maybe private testing is not within in their budget or the wait list is too long. Then, I usually get asked, “Can I pay for your testing services with insurance?”.
As a homeschool or private school parent, you might be concerned that your child has a specific learning disability (SLD), such as dyslexia or dysgraphia. However, navigating the process of getting your child tested can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding your options for free or low-cost testing. Maybe you’ve been told that your school district doesn’t test kids who attend homeschool or private school (not true!). Or you’d like to find Dyslexia testing that is covered by insurance or Medicaid.
Read the Blog Post to get tips and tricks for finding testing within your budget. PLUS, I've created a 🆓FREE resource that helps you craft a letter📫to send your request for testing to your local school district for free testing. It will help you get noticed and increase your chances of a "YES!".

📚 Types of Reading Disabilities 📚
Understanding the different types of reading disabilities is crucial because some kids might be “good” readers but still struggle with reading literature or textbooks in higher grades.
1️⃣ Basic Reading (Dyslexia): Difficulty reading words (decoding) due to issues with phonological processing and rapid automatic naming (RAN).
2️⃣ Fluency (Speed): Difficulty reading smoothly and quickly due to problems with rapid automatic naming (RAN) and processing speed.
3️⃣ Comprehension: Difficulty understanding text due to issues with language skills and problem-solving (fluid reasoning) abilities.
If your child has had a dyslexia screener or test and been told there’s no dyslexia, it might be time to check into one of the other options.

👉Some parents avoid having their child tested for learning disabilities because they fear it will lead to negative labels or stigma. It’s a legitimate fear, because that’s how the testing reports usually work ⏩ weakness focused and a list of test scores.
But imagine this instead:
•Highlight Strengths: A thorough evaluation that showcases your child’s strengths and shows you how to leverage them.
•Common Language: A shared understanding and language that your family can use to demystifies how their brain works and normalizes their learning style.
•Game Changer: Improved self-esteem and a stronger relationship with your child.
Privacy: A CHOICE to keep the testing results within your family or share with your child’s school, tutor, etc.
💜 I founded Clever Clogs to provide private testing for fast and reliable solutions to learning struggles.
Each report is a custom-made roadmap for your child’s success.
There’s no generic template.
I dive deep into the data, weaving together:
•Your Insights: Your unique perspective on your child.
•Your Child’s Experiences: Their personal learning journey as they explain it.
•Expert Testing Results: Comprehensive evaluation data that goes beyond SCORES and reveals meaning.
📝Even if your child has already been tested, I can still provide a customized look at their profile, helping you understand how to guide and support them better.
My mission is for every parent to see their child clearly in the report, understanding how to guide and support them, reducing friction, and boosting confidence.
Parents often tell me:
“Now I understand - I just thought they were (lazy/slow/bored/a behavior problem).”
“I wish I had done this sooner.”
Use this LINK https://pages.clevercogs.org/10facts and I’ll send you a FREE booklet with the ins and outs of pursuing an evaluation and how to be a “smart shopper” when talking to evaluators 👉 it’s packed with: symptom checklists, timelines, “tester” shopping list, and more.
