Diagnostic Assessments
We provide professional, private assessments online for dyslexia. All our assessors hold an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) accredited by the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) and are qualified specialist teachers and assessors, with broad experience of the UK school system, including both state and independent sectors. All reports follow SASC guidelines and, if dyslexia is diagnosed, can be used to access Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) at UK universities. Face to face assessment is also available in the Canterbury area.
Access Arrangements
If your child will be taking GCSEs, A Levels or vocational qualifications in the next two years, we are happy to liaise with your child's school before assessing so that any qualifying scores can be used in an application for examination access arrangements.
​
We are always happy to strike up working relationships with schools in need of access arrangements assessors. Please see our Assessments For Schools page for extra information.
Learning
Profiles
If you are unsure of whether to go ahead with a full diagnostic assessment, we are happy to start with a shorter Learning Profile Assessment. This details areas of strength and weakness in your child's learning profile and offers recommendations for further support or assessment. The cost of this shorter assessment and report will be subtracted from the
price of a full diagnostic assessment if this is recommended as a next step.
Screening
Tests
For children aged 5-16, a dyslexia screening test is available as the most cost-effective means of investigating whether dyslexic traits may be causing learning difficulties. This is not a diagnosis, but the cost of a screening test will be subtracted from the price of a full diagnostic assessment if this is recommended as a next step.
Older Students and Adults
Our qualified assessors can also provide diagnostic assessments and reports for those already in further or higher education as well as adults in the workplace. Dyslexia is covered by the Equality Act 2010, meaning that places of work and education are obliged to take a diagnosis into account and to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate difficulties.
