Specialist Assessment, Tuition & Training Services
If you would like to book a screening or assessment for yourself, your child or an employee, please contact me.
Dyslexia Screening
A screening test is designed to identify dyslexic tendencies or traits. It can be a useful start point in determining the probability that you are dyslexic. A screening test report can be useful to show to an employer as evidence of a difficulty being present, or for identifying who may benefit from undergoing a full diagnostic assessment.
Exam Access Arrangements
If you have been screened as 'at risk' or have a diagnosis of dyslexia, you may be eligible for Exam Access Arrangements. Each person with dyslexia will have different requirements. I am able to carry out assessment for access arrangements which can include:
-
extra time.
-
a reader.
-
a scribe.
-
using a computer instead of handwriting.
-
using assistive software (screen reader/voice recognition).
-
exam papers to be on a coloured paper in dyslexia friendly font.
-
supervised rest breaks.
-
separate room.
Full diagnostic assessment
A diagnostic assessment is intended to confirm whether you have dyslexia or not. It provides a confirmed diagnosis of dyslexia, as well as a clearer picture of strengths and weaknesses and your individual cognitive profile. Background information is collected prior to the assessment, via a questionnaire. The report contains detailed recommendations for use at home, school, college, university and the workplace.
A diagnostic assessment may be beneficial where you are experiencing significant difficulties in your study, in the workplace, or in day-to-day life and you do not already have a diagnosis of dyslexia or another specific learning difficulty (SpLD). A diagnostic assessment may be requested because:
​
· Students require a diagnostic report in order to apply for funded support at university (DSA).
· Employers have requested more information so that they can make reasonable adjustments for an employee with specific difficulties.
· You would like to understand why you find aspects of learning, particularly reading, writing and or spelling difficult.
· You find aspects of remembering and organisation for study and/or work particularly difficult.
· You have previously had an assessment and/or extra help at school and would like a full or updated assessment in order to have a better understanding of your difficulties.
