For most students, standardized testing means disrupted schedules, increased anxiety, and the pressure to perform. For a student with dyslexia or a neurodivergent brain, that experience is often amplified. In this episode, I expand on why these standardized tests exist and how to support your child through the process. 

Your child’s standardized test score tells you where they fall on a bell curve in relation to the other students in their grade. Because people with dyslexia process information differently, standardized tests aren’t an effective way to assess their development or comprehension. If your state doesn’t offer testing opt-outs, what can you do to help your child feel as calm and confident as possible? 

Join me as I explore seven ways to approach standardized testing and highlight important things to keep in mind if your child’s scores remain low.
