Could it be Dyslexia?
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
-
underperforming despite real effort and ability
​
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. It is not a label, it is an explanation for what you or your child have been struggling with. For many, a diagnosis is a turning point, particularly if diagnosed later in life.
​
The report can be used to:
​​​
-
provide clarity and understanding
-
inform support in school, college or university
-
guide workplace adjustments
-
support applications for exam access arrangements
​
Not all assessments result in a diagnosis. But every assessment provides a detailed profile and practical recommendations for support.
