Dyslexia Assessment

I offer a full diagnostic dyslexia assessment for children in Bristol, Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Berkshire and in London.


I hold a valid Assessment Practising Certificate approved by the British Dyslexia Association.

​

​

What are the symptoms of dyslexia?

A dyslexic profile varies from person to person but involves difficulties in the following areas:

​

  •  Reading accuracy

  •  Spelling accuracy

  •  Fluent reading

  •  Reading comprehension

  •  Written expression

  •  Punctuation

  •  Copying

  •  Note-taking during presentations

  •  Working under pressure of time

  •  Following and remembering verbal instructions

  •  Giving clear verbal explanations

  •  Short-term memory

​

What is the assessment process?

1.   A short initial call is scheduled to discuss the concerns about the individual. 

2.   A background questionnaire is completed before the assessment to gather information about the individual their current situation and strengths and weaknesses.

3.   This information is discussed in more detail during the assessment.

4.   Cognitive abilities and literacy skills are assessed.

5.   The results of the assessment are discussed after completion.

6.   A detailed, written report will reveal a detailed learning profile of strengths and weaknesses that will be clearly explained.  It will also include individualised recommendations for support both at home and in school.

Where will the assessment take place and how long does it take?

​

The assessment usually takes place in your own home, at my home in Bristol or with permission, at your child’s school. We just need a quiet table space. 

It takes around 3 hours and for younger children it is recommended to have two 1.5 hour sessions.

​

How much does it cost?

​

  • Full diagnostic assessment fee with full report: £549

  • Full diagnostic assessment fee with full report AND access arrangements application: £695

  • A £200 deposit is required to secure the date of the assessment. 
     

 

The final amount is to be paid on the day of the assessment. 

The report is sent within 14 days of cleared payment.
