Who we help
If you think you might have dyslexia or another form of SpLD/ Neurodiversity and you would like to know for certain, or if you would simply like to know more about how you process information, a diagnostic assessment will give you the answers. We offer assessments for individuals of all ages, from children to adults.
Parents & Children
For some children, despite targeted support, they struggle with aspects of their learning and fall behind their peers at school. This can lead to feelings of frustration, failure, and a lack of confidence. These learning difficulties might relate to reading, writing, spelling, or broader aspects of learning like sequencing, memory, or processing speed. In all cases, the first person to speak to would be the school’s SENCO. They can advise and might provide a dyslexia screener. They may recommend a diagnostic assessment with a specialist assessor. An assessment for dyslexia investigates all these areas to identify a child’s strengths and difficulties, enabling personalized recommendations for home and school. Dyslexia assessments can be completed for children from the age of 7 years old, and a diagnosis lasts for life.
Students
Moving to university? Then transitioning to work? Reasonable adjustments are steps that can be taken to help a student gain the most from their strengths and their ability to think differently, whilst helping to minimise the weaknesses. These adjustments will vary according to the individual student's needs, or course of study and the environment. The types of reasonable adjustment that might be considered within the context of university could include: Examinations • Extra time • Use of a computer • Use of a separate room • Consideration for spelling and punctuation Lectures • Permission to record the lecture • Handouts provided in advance If you are a University Student, you may be eligible for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA). You are assured of a quality assessment and report by coming to us. Our diagnostic assessments will identify whether there is evidence for dyslexia, dyspraxia (or Developmental Coordination Disorder – DCD), dysgraphia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD*), or other types of neurodivergent profile.
Schools & SENCO's
Our aim is to help you understanding and support your students with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. The only way for you to formally diagnose dyslexia and other learning difficulties is through a Diagnostic Assessment conducted by a certified dyslexia assessor. This is where we come in. This assessment provides a clear understanding of whether your student is dyslexic and we offer a detailed report outlining their strengths, weaknesses, and their cognitive profile. Why your student needs a Diagnostic Assessment? Our aim in the assessment is to: ✔️ Identify your student’s unique learning style and strategies that work best for them. ✔️ We gather information on their reading, spelling, and writing abilities. ✔️ We determine if there is a significant gap between their general ability and their literacy skills. ✔️ We also consider any other factors that may impact their learning. ✔️ Finally we establish whether Reasonable Adjustments are needed for them to have fair access to the curriculum and their exams. You can request an assessment through your Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) or of course your student’s parents can choose to arrange a private assessment with us.
