FAW

Feifer Assessment of Writing™

Rely on the FAW as your go-to for finding out WHY your pre-K through college student is struggling with writing. Get to the heart of issues impacting cognitive, motoric, and linguistic processes. The full assessment can be customized as you choose which subtests to administer. The screening form can be administered in under 20 minutes.

The FAW is designed to measure three subtypes of written language disorders or dysgraphia: graphomotor, dyslexic, and executive. It differs from traditional academic achievement assessments in that it is a diagnostic measure with specific neurocognitive processes built directly into the test.
