Assessments

Our Individual Assessment Service means that we will be able to put you in contact with a BDA Approved Assessor that can organise and carry out a Diagnostic assessment for Dyslexia for you. We cannot assess for any other Specific Learning Difficulties such as Dyscalculia at this time. Dyscalculia - British Dyslexia Association (bdadyslexia.org.uk)

Please note that most assessors are booking for several months ahead as this is when they next have spaces. If it will be later this it will be noted in the assessor’s biography. Assessors will provide a report following the assessment and this can take up to 1 month.

If the assessment is being funded by your child’s school, a local authority, a university, an organisation or your employer we will organise the assessment for you under our Corporate Assessment Service.

Diagnostic assessments for Dyslexia are carried out by experienced specialist teachers and psychologists across the UK and are booking several months in advance. We cannot assess for any other Specific Learning Difficulties.

Reports following a Diagnostic assessment are not intended to be used in a court of law. If you require the assessment for a tribunal or court case you would require an expert witness. Our Helpline may be able to advise you. Helpline

Before considering an assessment, you may want to look at doing a dyslexia checklist and/or screener, if you haven’t already.
