Adults at College

Full diagnostic assessments are available for adults of all ages and our assessors are experienced in working with mature students.

​

Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) can provide significant support for students of all ages; this is in the form of assistive technology and a specialist tutor. This helps to compensate for the additional challenges dyslexic students face during undergraduate life. The specialist tutor helps with structuring essays and reports; they also teach proof reading skills and revision techniques.

It is preferable to seek a diagnosis prior to applying for Access to Work so that an accurate assessment of your needs can be identified. A diagnosis may be offered by your employer under the UK's Equality Act (2010).

Free Telephone Screening

Screening allows you to discuss the difficulties which are causing concern with a specialist. The screening process identifies whether a formal dyslexia assessment is appropriate; this ensures that only those with clear dyslexic tendencies are considered.

Dyslexia Assessments

Assessments are undertaken predominantly online. This is carried out in two sessions lasting approximately one and a half hours each. both sessions take place on the same day, the first in the morning, and another in the afternoon. After the assessment, there is a further hour to feedback the results. This ensures you understand your individual learning profile including both strengths and weaknesses. ​

Charges

• telephone screening:  free

• full dyslexia assessment and diagnostic report:  £550

• travel charges will be applicable should an appointment in your own home be necessary
