When might an assessment help?

 

You may be looking for an explanation for persistent difficulties with reading, spelling or written work. An assessment considers the individual’s strengths and difficulties to help you understand their learning needs. You do not need to be certain that dyslexia is the explanation before getting in touch.

 

What skills does a dyslexia assessment explore?

 

The assessment explores reading accuracy, fluency and comprehension, spelling and writing, alongside language, reasoning and skills involved in processing speech sounds, remembering information and working at speed. Findings are considered together with developmental and educational history to understand the student’s individual profile.

 

How do I arrange an appointment?

 

Start with a free 15-minute introductory call. We can discuss the student’s age, your concerns, the appointment location and how the assessment works. There is no obligation to book an assessment.
