Are you considering an assessment?

The information below may help you decide whether to proceed.

I hold an Assessment Practising Certificate from The Dyslexia Guild and am also a professional member of The BDA and PATOSS. My assessments can be used to apply for Disabled Students' Allowance for university. I assess in Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire but can also carry out dyslexia assessments online if preferred. A full assessment takes around three hours.

Dyslexic people may also have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills. Dyslexia can also impact on other areas such as organisational skills.

Screening Tests

Screening tests may be computer based or carried out in person. They are designed to indicate whether there is a possibility of dyslexia or dyscalculia They are not diagnostic. If a screener indicates there is a chance of an individual having a specific learning difficulty it is useful to undergo a diagnostic assessment to determine the exact profile of the learner.
