Understand How You Learn. Unlock Support That Makes a Difference.

If you or your child are struggling with reading, writing, math or school performance despite strong effort, there may be an underlying learning difference. Learning disabilities like dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia are often misunderstood, overlooked or misattributed to lack of motivation. But with proper evaluation these challenges can be identified—and supported.

At Tranquil Awakenings Counseling Center, we offer comprehensive, strengths-based Learning Disability and Dyslexia Testing in Bloomfield Hills, MI to help individuals understand how they learn and advocate for the resources they need to succeed.

What Is a Learning Disability?

A learning disability (LD) is a neurologically based processing difference that interferes with specific areas of academic achievement—most commonly reading, writing or math. Individuals with LDs typically have average or above average intelligence but struggle with particular academic skills.

Common learning disabilities include:

• Dyslexia: Difficulty with reading, decoding, spelling and word recognition
• Dysgraphia: Difficulty with handwriting, written expression or spelling
• Dyscalculia: Difficulty with numbers, math concepts or computation
• Written Language Disorder: Struggles with grammar, organizing thoughts and written clarity
• Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD): Impaired spatial reasoning and social perception despite strong verbal skills

These conditions are often hidden and may present as frustration, avoidance, behavior issues, low self-esteem or underachievement. With early identification and proper support individuals with LDs can thrive academically and personally.
