Dyslexia is a learning difficulty which affects reading and writing skills. 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.

An assessment requires triangulating evidence. We look at background information, including s history of difficulties and interventions. We consider the results of formal tests and whether the student used any compensatory strategies or whether the tests were effortful.

The report is usually with you within 10 working days and includes recommendations to support learning. A clear diagnostic decision is evident. If the evidence does not support a diagnosis of dyslexia this will be clearly explained.

I offer online remote assessments for dyslexia. These follow SASC guidance and are accepted to apply for Disabled Student's Allowance. I use remote versions of testing tools and these are approved by SASC.
