Dyslexia Assessment
This is a comprehensive assessment that can assess for
dyslexia
dyscalculia
other specific underlying learning difficulties (working memory impairments, processing speed impairments etc.)
Suitable for children 7+ years old (please contact me if your child is younger and you would like to consider a dyslexia assessment).
This assessment includes a cognitive assessment, which helps us understand more about your child/young person’s learning skills and can provide an overall measure of IQ. This is a very valuable part of the assessment process that often provides insight and understanding about why a child or young person is struggling.
Measures of attainment in language, literacy and numeracy are administered. This helps us find out how your child/young person is currently performing in these areas. If a child is presenting with a specific difficulty in one or more areas, this assessment will identify this.
A detailed report will be made available for you within 2 weeks. If your child/young person is presenting with difficulties associated with dyslexia, dyscalculia or other specific underlying learning difficulty, this will be clearly outlined within the report.
Recommendations for home and school are given within the report. Liaison with the child or young person’s school can ensure that the outcome of the assessment is as beneficial as possible for them, and can support the child/young person’s application for examination access arrangements.
Total cost: £500 (non-refundable £50 deposit required to secure the assessment date).
