"Do I need a Dyslexia Assessment?"
You may benefit from a dyslexia assessment if you or your child experience ongoing difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, or processing information.
This may include:
-
needing more time to read or complete written work
-
difficulty organising thoughts or structuring writing
-
challenges with memory, planning, or time management
-
underperformance despite effort
A diagnostic assessment provides a detailed understanding of how you process information. It identifies strengths as well as areas of difficulty and helps explain long-standing challenges.
What does a Diagnosis Mean?
A dyslexia diagnosis confirms the presence of a specific learning difficulty (SpLD) based on standardised assessment.
The report can be used to:
-
support applications for exam access arrangements
-
inform support in school, college or university
-
guide workplace adjustments
-
provide clarity and understanding
It is important to note that not all assessments result in a diagnosis. However, every assessment provides a detailed profile and practical recommendations for support.
