Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects the way a person learns and processes information. It can make reading, spelling, writing, and organising ideas more difficult, but it does not reflect a person's intelligence or ability.
People with dyslexia often find it harder to remember information, process written or spoken language, or complete tasks quickly. These difficulties can affect learning at school, college, university, and in the workplace.
Everyone experiences dyslexia differently, and each individual will have their own strengths and challenges. Many people with dyslexia are highly creative, imaginative, and skilled at problem-solving, seeing the bigger picture, and thinking in innovative ways.
Early identification and appropriate support can make a significant difference, helping individuals to build confidence, develop effective strategies, and reach their full potential.
Whether you are seeking answers for yourself, your child, or someone you support, a professional assessment can provide valuable insights and practical recommendations for the future.
Full Dyslexia Assessment and diagnosis
£420 face to face
(Can be used for application of DSA)
A comprehensive dyslexia assessment typically takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete.
The assessment explores a range of areas, including cognitive abilities, information processing skills, reading, writing, and spelling. This provides a detailed picture of an individual's strengths, challenges, and learning profile.
Following the assessment, a thorough written report is provided, outlining the findings, confirming whether a diagnosis of dyslexia is appropriate, and offering personalised recommendations for support and intervention.
Assessments are available for:
-
Primary school pupils
-
Secondary school pupils
-
College students
-
University students
-
Adults in the workplace
Where appropriate, the diagnostic report can be used to support applications for the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) and other reasonable adjustments in education or employment.
Dyslexia Screening
£170 face to face
This 1.5-hour screening assessment provides an overview of an individual's learning profile and helps identify strengths, areas of difficulty, and indicators commonly associated with dyslexia.
The screening includes a focused selection of assessments and is designed to determine whether a full diagnostic dyslexia assessment may be beneficial.
Following the assessment, a concise written report (approximately 4–6 pages) is provided. The report outlines the findings and includes practical recommendations for both parents and educational settings to support learning and development.
For a more comprehensive overview of learning needs, the dyslexia screening can be combined with a dyscalculia screening for £320. Combined screenings are conducted face-to-face.
