AYLD

Providing specialist assessments for individuals of all ages affected by learning difficulties

How we help

We provide expert diagnostic assessments for individuals of all ages, children, teenagers, and adults, experiencing challenges related to:

Dyslexia
Dyspraxia (DCD)*
Dysgraphia
ADHD*
And other specific learning difficulties (SpLDs).

Assessments are offered both in-person at our Cambridgeshire location and online, providing flexibility to suit your needs and preferences.

*ADHD and Dyspraxia (DCD) assessments are offered for individuals aged 16 and over, in line with SASC guidelines. These are educational, non-medical assessments offered as part of a broader SpLD profile.

Our Services

We offer diagnostic assessments for a range of Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs). These assessments help individuals of all ages understand their learning needs and provide recommendations for effective support in academic and professional settings.

Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects reading, writing, and spelling. It can impact individuals of all ages, making it harder to decode words, recognise sight words, and read fluently.

Dyspraxia*

Dyspraxia, also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), affects motor coordination and can cause difficulties with tasks requiring fine motor skills, balance, and coordination.

*Dyspraxia (DCD) assessments are offered for individuals aged 16 and over, in line with SASC guidelines. These are educational, non-medical assessments offered as part of a broader SpLD profile.

ADHD*

ADHD affects attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. For individuals aged 18 and above, ADHD can impact both academic and work environments.

*ADHD assessments are offered for individuals aged 16 and over, in line with SASC guidelines. These are educational, non-medical assessments offered as part of a broader SpLD profile.

Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia impacts handwriting and fine motor skills, making it difficult to write clearly or organise thoughts in writing. Individuals with dysgraphia may struggle in academic or professional environments that require extensive writing, such as exams, reports, or notes.

Who we help

We provide services to a wide range of organisations across the UK and internationally. Most of our assessments are delivered remotely, with in-person appointments available in Cambridgeshire. At AYLD, we work with mainstream and independent schools, colleges, and educational consultants to carry out specialist assessments that focus on individual learning needs. We assess children and adults for dyslexia, ADHD, and dyspraxia — all on a non-medical basis. Our reports offer clear, practical recommendations to support access arrangements, applications for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA), personalised learning strategies, and long-term educational progress.
