Families often reach out when they suspect their child may have dyslexia and want clear, trustworthy answers. You may be noticing persistent struggles with reading, spelling, or written work, or hearing concerns from your child’s teacher. If you are searching for dyslexia testing in Minnetonka, you are not alone. Many families are simply looking for clarity so they can support their child with confidence.
Dr. Amy Schulting and her team provide comprehensive dyslexia testing and evaluations for children and adolescents in PreK through 12th grade. Families come to us from Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, and surrounding West Metro communities. Our goal is to help you understand your child’s reading profile, provide a dyslexia diagnosis when appropriate, and outline clear next steps for support at home and school.
High-quality dyslexia testing does more than confirm a diagnosis. It explains why reading is difficult and what kind of instruction will be most effective moving forward.

Our Dyslexia Evaluation Process
Families often share that they feel supported and informed throughout the evaluation process. Dyslexia testing typically includes the following steps:
Parent Intake Meeting
We begin with a detailed parent interview to understand your child’s developmental history, academic experiences, strengths, and concerns. This allows us to tailor testing to your child’s specific profile.
Teacher Input
When available, teacher feedback helps us understand how reading challenges appear in the classroom and across learning environments.
In-Person Testing Sessions
Testing is completed in person at our Minnetonka or Burnsville location and may occur over one or two sessions depending on your child’s age and needs. We use research-supported assessments commonly used in dyslexia evaluations.
Interpretation and Written Report
All results are carefully scored and interpreted. Families receive a comprehensive written report that explains findings clearly and includes specific, actionable recommendations.
Results & Recommendations Meeting
We meet with parents to review results, answer questions, and discuss next steps. The goal is for you to leave with a clear understanding of your child’s reading profile and how to support their progress.
