About the Dyslexia Assessment:
You have referred your child for a specific learning difficulty assessment for dyslexia. The assessment aims to develop a detailed learning profile, identifying strengths and areas of need and to consider whether the profile is consistent with a diagnosis of dyslexia. Finding may or may not result in a diagnosis.
The assessment includes standardised testing, observation, background information, professional analysis and a written report.
The assessment may be recorded to enable the assessor to review it during the report writing process. It will be deleted once the report is approved.
The assessment will need to take place in a quiet, suitable space with minimal interruptions.
Equipment ordinarily used will need to be brought to the assessment. For example, glasses, hearing aids, fidget aids and anything specific to their needs.
Please inform the assessor, in advance of the assessment, of any medical needs, adjustments or considerations that may need to be considered during the session.
