Getting a Diagnostic Assessment
Find qualified professionals for dyslexia assessments
Who Can Assess?
Diagnostic Assessments can be carried out by a qualified Educational Psychologist or a Specialist Assessor.
Assessment Referrals
We've compiled a list of qualified organisations and specialists who can assess for a range of SpLDs (Specific Learning Difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, ADHD) for children and adults.
Important Note
We are not recommending any of these in particular. We suggest you look at websites and contact whichever you feel would suit your (or your child's) needs.
