Dyslexia Assessment

A comprehensive assessment to help you understand your child’s learning profile and identify the support they need.

Who this is for

This assessment is designed for children and young people who are experiencing ongoing difficulties with reading, spelling, writing, memory, processing speed or learning, and where there are concerns about possible dyslexia.

A full diagnostic assessment can provide clarity, reassurance, and a clear path forward for families and schools.

What the assessment includes

Each dyslexia assessment is comprehensive, individualised, and conducted in line with SASC guidance and best practice. It includes:

• Detailed background history and developmental information

• Parent and teacher questionnaires

• Assessment of literacy skills (reading, spelling, writing)

• Assessment of phonological processing, memory and processing skills

• Integrated speech and language screening where relevant

• Identification of strengths as well as areas of difficulty

The report

You will receive a clear, detailed written report that:

• Follows SASC guidance

• Explains findings in plain, accessible language

• Identifies whether a profile consistent with dyslexia is present

• Includes personalised, practical recommendations for home and school

Feedback and support

Unlike many assessments, support does not stop when the report is written.

Your assessment fee includes:

• A parent feedback session to talk through the results in detail

• The opportunity for a feedback discussion with school (e.g. SENDCo or teacher), where appropriate

This ensures everyone involved understands the findings and knows how best to support your child.

How it works

1. Initial discussion

2. Assessment session

3. Analysis and report writing

4. Feedback session

Payment of the assessment fee is required before the completed report is released, not at the point of enquiry.
