Yes. The screening costs nothing and there is no obligation to enroll at Feller or to buy anything afterward. Booking asks for a card to hold your seat, and it is only charged if you no-show or cancel within 24 hours ($49).

Who gives the screening?

Wisconsin licensed reading specialists from Dyslexia Evaluations, under Dr. Lauren Zepp, Ph.D. in Special Education from UW-Madison and assistant professor at UW-Whitewater.

No. It tells you whether your child shows signs consistent with dyslexia. A full evaluation is what produces the formal report.

The school tested my child and said they don't qualify. Should I still come?

Yes. Schools answer an eligibility question, not a dyslexia question. Bright kids often look fine on broad tests and still show a clear dyslexia profile.

Do I have to be a Feller family?

No. Most families who come are in public or other private schools.
