You need a Slingerland test. You need someone to test you. Please go to Slingerland.org and go to their list of tutors. Contact one near you and explain your situation. You need a Malcomesius Test if available. Most tutors charge at least $300 a test, but perhaps you can save or pay over time. This test will definitively tell you if you have dyslexia. Good luck. Email me direct if you have further questions.

Calling a local community college resource center for students will disabilities (or something like that) would be a great place to start, they will know names of people that can do testing.

I was able to be tested through the university. I saw a program on television about dyslexia and contacted Dr Linda Siegel at the University of British Columbia who works in the Department of Education. She was able to arrange for me to be tested by a graduate student and she sent me the results. The cost was only the expanse of traveling to Vancouver. Check out the Department of Education at the nearest university and see if they do something similar.

I have had two diagnoses and the first one our expand medical paid for part of it.
