Full Diagnostic Dyslexia Assessments (pre-16)
£500
A Diagnostic Dyslexia Assessment covers a full range of tests to assess underlying ability, attainment in spelling, writing, reading, and a range of underpinning tests to assess working memory, speed of processing and phonological awareness. The assessment takes around three to four hours and can be administered over one or two sessions.
​
Results of the assessments are combined with detailed background information into a report which can diagnose dyslexia and will last the lifetime of the individual. It will identify strengths and provide many recommendations which are used by schools and employers to enhance learning and the work environment.
If you are at school these reports can be used when considering an application for an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP).
​
Full Diagnostic Dyslexia Assessments (post-16)
£500
​
If you are at university, or are considering going to university, you need to know about the Disabled Students' Allowance which allows you to access further support such as a laptop, additional resources and extra time in exams. Our post-16 reports cover the same full range of tests as the pre-16 assessment and are needed as evidence for when you make an application for extra support, even if you had extra time in exams or access arrangements at GCSEs. Support can be:
​
-
consideration for exams, e.g. extra time
-
study skills development, e.g. strategies for coursework
-
technology, e.g. software to help you show what you know
​

Diagnostic Screening Assessment with a Short Report or Dyslexia Update
£300
This is a shorter dyslexia assessment for children aged 6-14. A number of tests are administered during the assessment to assess underlying ability, attainment in spelling, writing, reading and a range of tests to assess working memory, speed of processing and phonological awareness. However, a summary report will be produced which will contain a summary of the test results, a detailed conclusion and recommendations for support at home and school.
​
Literacy Testing
£2000
​
This test assesses basic literacy skills using a range of standardised tests. It will inform you of your child’s levels of reading, spelling and writing in relation to national norms. It does not provide indications of dyslexia. A short summary report is provided.

Dyslexia Tuition
Guide price: £50 to £100 per hour
​
Unlike conventional tuition, dyslexia tutors have qualifications to provide expertise in teaching the specific skills students with dyslexia need to enhance reading, spelling and writing as well as other life and study skills.
​
Each lesson is tailored to the individual student to help them develop a range of strategies focussed on the learning needs and strengths of the student. The aim is to foster greater independence in learning. The structure is underpinned by research and is delivered in a fun, multi-sensory way involving lots of creative activities and games as well as reading and writing tasks.
