Learning Disability Diagnostician in Denton, TX

Mrs. White tested 2 of my children for dyslexia at different ages and they were both positive experiences. She is great with kids and made mine feel very comfortable and even enjoy the testing process! She has a lot of compassion for both the children being tested and their parents! She was able to explain the test results in a way that makes so much sense. -- Lisa Davis
