Why consider a Dyslexia assessment?
Unlocking the right support
Identifying dyslexia in adulthood allows you to access strategies that work, while also addressing issues such as low confidence, anxiety, or avoiding certain opportunities.
Understanding your unique learning profile
An assessment highlights both challenges and strengths, showing your preferred ways of learning. This insight helps you, your employer, or your lecturers put effective strategies in place.
Building confidence and self-understanding
Many adults feel relieved to discover the reason behind their difficulties. Dyslexia does not mean being ‘lazy’ or ‘unintelligent’; it simply means processing information differently. Understanding this builds resilience and self-advocacy.
Planning ahead
An assessment report provides the evidence needed to access workplace adjustments, exam arrangements, and support in education, helping you move forward with confidence.
Assessment Process
At SpLD Assessment, we make the process of getting assessed simple and stress-free.​​
​Here’s what you can expect:
Decide if you would like an Online Assessment or an In-Person Assessment (North Wales and Cheshire).
Complete our short Enquiry Form to express your interest in getting assessed. This helps us understand your concerns and provide the most appropriate service.
Once the enquiry form has been completed, you will be asked to complete a Pre-Assessment Questionnaire before the assessment.
The assessment itself usually takes 2-3 hours and involves:
-
A discussion about your educational and personal history.
-
A series of standardised tests to assess areas like reading, spelling, phonological memory, and processing speed.
After two weeks, your report will be ready
