Formal assessment
Often a formal diagnosis provides a starting point for dyslexic learners and we are keen to be there throughout the journey of understanding strengths and supporting weaknesses.
​
We assess both children and adults.

Face to face assessment
The diagnostic process for dyslexia is significantly detailed and, prior to the day of assessment, requires an input from parents and the individual’s school. When an assessment is for an adult, an input is just required from the individual.
​
On the day of the assessment, a specialist assessor of dyslexia will meet the learner and begin using a battery of assessments which involve investigating underlying ability, working memory, processing speed and phonological awareness of an individual. These tests take approximately 2 to 3 hours with the learner having breaks as required.
We recognise this is a significant length of time for young learners and try to make the assessments as relaxed as possible.
​
Once the assessments have been completed, a comprehensive report will be written and sent to you 2-3 weeks after the assessment.
​
Our face to face assessments take place in Whitstable, Kent.
Remote assessment
The remote assessment requires similar steps to the face to face assessment. The only difference is that it will take place virtually and is therefore available nationally.
​
There is a requirement to complete the assessment on a device larger than a phone screen.
