Dyslexia Screening

Dyslexia Screening

The screener assessment comprises of nine short tests which provide a detailed profile of a child's literacy, processing and memory skills.  Background information for a screener is initially collected from the parents prior to the assessment date.  The screener lasts approximately one hour and looks for indicators or difficulty in the core areas impacted by dyslexia: single-word reading and spelling, phonological awareness, phonological processing and phonological memory.   


A screening does not provide a diagnosis but is designed to determine if a child shows dyslexic tendencies. This will result in a detailed report which provides a profile of your child's strengths and weaknesses, helping to identify particular areas of difficulty in literacy learning and enabling their teachers to provide targeted support. 

  

Following the report, I offer a 20-minute follow-up meeting via Zoom, where you can ask any questions about the report.

Full Dyslexia Diagnostic Assessment

Full Dyslexia Diagnostic Assessment

 A full diagnostic Dyslexia assessment begins with gathering a range of background information about your child.  I will send you questionnaires for both home and school so that I can begin to get to know your child, their strengths and the areas that they may be struggling with.   


The assessment comprises of a range of activities and tasks that assess underlying cognitive ability, working memory, speed of processing and phonological awareness plus attainment in spelling, writing, reading and, if appropriate, numeracy.  These take around four hours in total but can be split over two sessions to aid concentration and for younger children.  The tests are varied and carried out in a way that keeps them engaged and motivated throughout.    


Following the assessment, a detailed report is written and shared within three weeks.  This report will follow the SASC guidelines and will include diagnostic decisions. It will explain your child's strengths, weaknesses and include personalised recommendations for them at home and at school.   


Following the report, I offer a 30-minute follow-up meeting via Zoom, where you can ask any questions about the report.   


Please contact me if you wish to discuss which assessment is appropriate for your child.
