The Assessment

Diagnostic Dyslexia Assessments are available for pupils up to and including 18 years of age. The assessment – this can take up to 5 hours and can be split over two days at no extra cost.

The report – this will be approximately 35 pages in length and will provide an explanation of how your child performed in the assessments, their strengths and weaknesses, the diagnostic outcome and key recommendations.

As I hold an Assessment Practicing Certificate this means that this report would allow your child to apply for DSA should they wish to go onto Higher Education.

“In November 2018, the Department of Education (DfE) announced that a diagnostic assessment conducted at any age, which results in a diagnosis of dyslexia, will be accepted as part of an application for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA). However, these reports will only be accepted if written by an assessor holding a valid APC at the time of the assessment (or an HCPC psychologist). As reports conducted at any age may be used for DSA purposes, it is recommended that all assessors should now hold an APC”
