Dyslexia Assessment Services (North East)

 

 

The assessment will take approximately three hours and

 will focus on :

 

 

• Information gathered from parents and school on developmental and educational history.

   

• Standardised psychometric testing to establish underlying ability

•                            

• Standardised testing to investigate phonological awareness, short term auditory and working memory, visual and phonological processing and speed of writing.

•  

• Attainment testing in reading, spelling, reading comprehension and free writing.

•  

• Observations on preferred style of learning

•  

• The results are analysed and a comprehensive and confidential report is provided. 

•  

• The report contains a summary of the findings, identifies dyslexia (where appropriate) and offers recommendations for targeted support. Examination concessions (access arrangements) are evidenced for school submission to examination boards. The report will give a clear profile of strengths and challenges.

 

 

With appropriate advice, help and support dyslexia should not be a barrier to success and achievement.
