Dyslexia assessment

WHAT IS DYSLEXIA?

Dyslexia is a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) which primarily affects reading, writing, and the ability to process information with automaticity.  Retaining the learnt information can be a challenge and consequently affects the learning and acquisition of literacy skills. Dyslexia can also impact areas such as organisational skills.

DYSLEXIA ASSESSMENTS

Dyslexia assessments confirm whether an individual has dyslexia or not. They are a series of battery tests used to identify the learner's specific areas of strengths and barriers to learning as well as create an individual cognitive profile.  

Included in an assessment report, are the recommendations and strategies which are designed to advise on how to best support the individual so that learning incorporates and focuses more on the individual's learning strengths rather than on their difficulties.
