What does the assessment involve? 

​

The first step is to fill in a questionnaire. This helps helps to gather important background information. It may be necessary to send questionnaires for the school or the employer, and clients are asked to forward these on.

 

The assessment normally takes between 2 and 3 hours and is completed in one session. In some cases, it may be possible to complete the assessment over 2 sessions. Most assessments take place at the client's home or school. 

​

Once the assessment is completed you will receive a detailed report within 2 weeks. The report will outline strengths and challenges  and whether a specific learning difficulty (dyslexia) is present. The report will also provide guidance and practical strategies. 

 

A follow up phone call can be arranged to discuss the findings of the report.   

​

Weekday and weekend appointments are available to suit your needs.

Disabled Student's Allowance (DSA) 

​

A formal diagnosis of dyslexia can be used when applying for DSA to ensure support at university. DSA can provide software, equipment and study skills tuition to students studying at  Higher Education level. In order to apply for DSA there must be a formal diagnosis in place. The assessment reports that I produce are written in accordance with the DFE guidelines and are recognised by examination boards/universities.

Assessments for Exam Access Arrangements

​

Exam access arrangements refers to reasonable adjustments that can be made for an exam candidate and might include things like extra time or the provision of rest breaks. Such arrangements must reflect the student's normal way of working. In the vast majority of cases, assessments  for exam arrangements are carried out by the school. In order for my report to be used for exam access arrangements, the school/college would need to accept me as an approved assessor and joint paperwork would need to be filled in. Therefore, it is advised that you speak with the school SENCo in the first instance or contact me if you wish to discuss this further.
