Full diagnostic literacy/dyslexia assessments for those aged 8+

A full literacy-focused diagnostic assessment might be just what you need if:

  • you or your child has had difficulties with literacy skills

  • you or your child wants to know whether you officially have dyslexia or if there's another reason for literacy difficulties

  • you need formal evidence of having a specific learning difficulty, such as for university and the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)

  • you're looking for honest feedback about if there're other potential needs that would benefit from being explored by other professionals for which I can write referral letters

  • you've already gone through assessments for other areas such as dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADHD and autism but the conclusion there doesn't explain the full picture

  • you're looking for an online dyslexia assessment (adults and those in year 7+)

For those aged 16+ with a longstanding history of motor difficulties, I can explore if you have a profile showing dyspraxia and this report can be used to access support at university.

How long does the assessment take place and what does it involve?

Please read the page HERE about the assessment process.

The literacy-focused assessment usually takes around 2 hours whereas including dyspraxia for those age 16+ takes a further 30 minutes. This is followed by immediate verbal feedback of up to 30 minutes to explain my conclusion. Many testimonials from clients (which can be found HERE) refer to how much I pick up including other learning needs and conditions that might warrant assessments with other professionals. Tasks include various aspects of literacy skills, language/reasoning skills and cognitive processing. Having a private assessment does not guarantee being given a diagnosis; Regardless of a formal diagnosis being made, a detailed but very practical report will be sent which can be shared with schools, colleges, universities, employers, etc.

How much is the assessment and when do I pay?

The cost of this assessment is £575 which includes a £75 deposit at the time of booking and the balance payable no later than the assessment date.

There's no additional fee for referral letters (e.g. ADHD, speech and language) or JCQ form 8s when schools and colleges have agreed before the assessment takes place to work with me regarding GCSE and A' level exam access arrangements.

If education providers and employers are paying, an invoice is sent after the assessment and full payment is requested within 30 days. 

Please get in touch about the cost, etc. if you're looking for a combined literacy and maths assessment or if you've already had a maths-focused assessment with me.
