Advanced Dyslexia Screening
Who benefits from an advanced screening test?
Anyone aged 7 and above who is struggling with literacy.
An advanced screening test can tell you more about your strengths and weaknesses as it assesses your cognitive profile using psychometric testing, for example it tests for short term memory, processing speed, and phonological awareness. During advanced screening tests we also look at attainment to get an idea of where your skills are at and were they need to be. All this information is invaluable to parents, carers and educators as it helps with the development of appropriate support.
All advanced screening test are done face to face with an assessor who will assist in interpreting the results and providing recommendations. Your assessor will also keep an eye out for any other difficulties that could be responsible, such as ASD or ADHD. Even if no learning difficulty or neurodiversity is identified the process can be very enlightening and cathartic.
