The Assessment

 

 

 

The Assessment can take place in your own home , in your child’s school by prearrangement or in a

well-appointed room in an independent facility.

 

 

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. A feedback further meeting will be arranged to discuss the assessment.

  •  

  • 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 weaknesses.

 

 

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