Dyslexia Assessments

If you think that your child may be dyslexic or if you think they are having difficulties learning to read or working with numbers, it is important to arrange a test for dyslexia as soon as possible. Between the ages of 4 – 7 children pick up skills very quickly which provides a window of opportunity to create new strategies for learning.

Ensuring early and appropriate intervention is a key to supporting your child and managing the right approach to the development moving forward in their education.

The Dyslexia Assessments:

The diagnostic assessment for dyslexia is made up of a number of different tests. Although each test lasts no longer than about 10 minutes the whole test can take between 2-4 hours depending on the child.

The assessment will include:

• Background interview covering academic, social and emotional background and the child's developmental history
• Psychological assessments
• Handwriting assessment
• Cognitive assessment which provide an understanding of the child's verbal ability, attention and concentration, memory and processing speed and perceptual skills.
• Literacy assessment including: reading, speed of reading, blending skills, comprehension

Diagnosing Dyslexia and written report

We will provide you with a full written report that will explain the results from the dyslexia assessment. The report will outline the results and include recommendations for further action and advice on dyslexia support for your child in school.

The Psychologist will also be available for a follow up consultation to discuss the report and advise you on possible next steps and the dyslexia help available to you.
