Assessments
A full diagnostic assessment is a detailed testing process that allows a diagnosis of dyslexia to be made.
A report will also makes recommendations for support, in education or the workplace.
If you are paying for the assessment the fee is £595.
Dyslexia Screening Session
A screening test can be a useful tool to give and indication of dyslexic difficulties.
Our dyslexia screening session includes an screening test carried out online and an online or telephone appointment with a qualified practitioner.
You will get a short report with your results and recommendations to help you. We would advise that if the screening test indicates that there is a moderate to high probability of dyslexic difficulties, that it should be followed up with a diagnostic assessment with a Specialist Assessor. An assessment can determine the precise nature of your difficulties and how you can be best supported.
You will need internet access but please let us know if you are unable to work online.
The online screening service is £150.

‘I believe you have helped me piece things together, be more honest with myself and ultimately understand myself and to be myself!’
‘Sharing ideas and thoughts has encouraged and strengthened me’
"I am a member, tutor and trustee of this charity. Over the years it has been a lifeline for me. As a person I have grown in confidence in many ways and I was able to apply and gain jobs at a primary school and then secondary school, teaching children with special educational needs.
Confidence building is just one of the many great things about ADC; it helps people to help themselves and therefore help them to help others.
Over the years I have made many friends and there is a great sense of community here. You are encouraged to join in with as many as you like. ADC is a safe, comfortable place to learn, grow and socialise."
