Diagnostic assessment - £175 Assessments are carried out at the centre and can be arranged at a time to suit you, including weekends and evenings. Any adult or young person aged 16 years or over is welcome.

The assessment lasts between two and three hours. It involves talking about strengths and weaknesses, schooling, coping strategies etc, and also the completion of different tasks. These will measure attainments in areas such as reading and spelling, underlying ability, and cognitive processing.

I am very happy for a parent of a young person to be present for the discussion part of the assessment. They are then welcome to wait in an adjoining room.

A detailed report will be available within two weeks. This will include my diagnosis, information on strengths and weaknesses and any appropriate recommendations. My reports meet the necessary criteria to support an application for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA).

Talks I am also available to give talks or run workshops on dyslexia, dyspraxia and Asperger’s Syndrome.

Free Initial Consultation If you have any concerns or questions about the assessment, you are welcome to come and meet me for a free informal consultation.  We can then talk through any difficulties you may have been experiencing and I can explain the assessment process further.  You are obviously under no obligation to book a screening or an assessment after this meeting.

Initial Screening - £25 The initial dyslexia screening is a shorter session which can help you decide whether to have the diagnostic assessment. It involves asking you some questions and the completion of short tasks. At the end of it, I will discuss with you the likelihood of you being dyslexic or not. No report is produced.
