Our full diagnostic assessments are carried out by specialist assessors who have up to date Assessor’s Practising Certificates (APC), or Chartered Psychologists who are registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). The assessment focuses on dyslexia and other possible co-occurring difficulties.

• You will receive an email to confirm the assessment booking. This email also includes a questionnaire for you to complete. This gives the assessor background information about the person being assessed to help select the most appropriate tests.

• At the assessment, we conduct a diagnostic interview with reference to the completed questionnaire. Based on the information provided, we use our range of assessment tools to put together the best diagnostic package for you/your child. This involves cognitive testing and assessments of literacy, numeracy, phonological processing and visual-motor integration, dependent upon the nature of the difficulties reported.

• We will give some verbal feedback on the day of the assessment (sometimes a verbal diagnosis, but not in every case). A written (PDF) report (including recommendations) is then sent out within 2 weeks of the assessment date.
