Dyslexia Assessment

This assessment will take between 3 and 5 hours and is usually completed in one or two sessions. These assessments will identify whether a specific learning difficulty exists or not. Parents and school will be asked to complete a questionnaire prior to the assessments, to give background information. Once completed, a full written report will be issued. These reports are based on the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) guidance. They offer the results and conclusions of the assessments together with recommendations for home and school.

Access Arrangements

We work with students and teachers to make sure that learners get the support they need to do well in their studies and exams . These assessments are arranged and carried out in schools.

Dyslexia-Specialists UK are qualified to assess for Exam Access Arrangements. Packages can be tailored to the individual needs of the school.

A typical package for a school day with 5 lessons of one hour consists of:

Lesson 1: Group testing for handwriting speed/ comprehension speed/ spelling/ visual processing.

Lesson 2-4: Individual testing. 15 minute allocation per student.

Lesson 5: Scoring and Part 2 of the Form 8’s are completed by the assessor.

A member of staff must be available to collect the children from their classes and bring them promptly to the testing room as needed. As a minimum, a skeleton version of Part 1 of Form 8 must be completed and shared with the assessor prior to testing.

Testing is targeted to meet the individual needs of the learner, according to their normal way of working (as documented in Part 1 of Form 8). Core testing includes; handwriting speed, processing speed, phonological memory and comprehension speed. Additional tests are administered if evidence is not obtained from the core tests.

Fees

A flat rate of £500 for assessing during school hours (8.45am-3.15pm). For individual students, £75 per student (plus mileage at 45p per mile, from CW5).
