Dyslexia Diagnostic Assessment (8+)

Online or in person - (£675)

​

Suitable for children, teens and adults, a Dyslexia Assessment helps illuminate the unseen obstacles that can shape both performance and confidence. It gives families and professionals a deeper understanding of how an individual learns and processes information, and offers clarity around the challenges they may face in school, university, or work.​​

​

For a holistic understanding of the learning profile, screening for co-occurring conditions including ADHD, DCD and Dyscalculia can be integrated into the same assessment at no additional cost. As these commonly overlap with Dyslexia, this approach ensures needs are identified with clarity and support is precisely targeted.

​​​​What is Asessed?​

​​​

  • Literacy Skills: Core literacy skills including single word reading; timed reading; reading efficiency and comprehension; spelling; handwriting speed, clarity and expression.

  • Expressive and Receptive Vocabulary: a person’s ability to understand words and to use them effectively in communication.

  • Underlying Ability: Non-verbal problem-solving skills that support pattern recognition, spatial understanding, and mathematical reasoning.

  • Phonological Processing Skills: Phonological awareness, phonological memory & phonological processing speed. 

  • Orthographic Processing Skills: a person’s ability to recognise, remember, and efficiently use the visual patterns of written language. 

  • Auditory memory: The ability to recall numerical information presented verbally (e.g., numbers, sequences, arithmetic facts).

  • Working memory: The capacity to hold and manipulate information in mind, such as remembering intermediate steps during a calculation.

  • Background information: Developmental and educational history gathered via questionnaires.

  • Additional assessments if needed (e.g., numeracy or motor skills) for a holistic view.​

  • Observation and discussion to understand your child's learning style and thought process.

The Report & Follow-Up Consultation​


Drawing on the background information and performance across the assessment tasks, the report will state if the client has Dyslexia, resulting in a formal diagnosis. It will provide a clear profile of strengths and areas requiring further support, along with tailored recommendations for strategies and interventions that can be implemented at home, in school, or in the workplace. ​

​

Your report will include:

​

  • Interpreted scores, formulation, and tailored recommendations to support progress

  • Documentation to support Exam Access Arrangements, DSA & Workplace Assessments (e.g., referral letters and JCQ Form 8)

  • Guidance on whether further professional input would be beneficial, helping you move forward with confidence. Written referral to other professionals is included if further support is needed.

  • 30-minute follow-up consultation to discuss the findings in detail, answer your questions and explore practical ways to implement the recommendations.
