What is an Advanced Dyslexia Screening?

An Advanced Dyslexia Screening Test is a professional assessment designed to identify the likelihood of dyslexia in children and adults. A specific learning difficulty that affects reading, spelling, and writing.

At Indigo Dyslexia, we provide advanced dyslexia screening in Norwich, helping identify strengths and areas of difficulty while offering clear guidance on next steps.
This screening gives you the clarity needed to understand learning challenges and make informed decisions about support. Learn more in our guide to understanding dyslexia testing.

How it Works

The Appointment

You will meet with a specialist assessor with qualifications in testing. They will answer any questions you may have about neurodiversity, guide you through the testing process, and then explain the results and discuss further actions.

The Location

All of our assessments are conducted face-to-face. This can be either at our centre in central Norwich or online through secure conferencing software. You will work in a private room with the assessor, and supporters are also welcome to attend.

The Process

Each appointment can last up to two hours. It consists of an initial chat to establish your situation, followed by the screening, and then the explanation of results. You will have plenty of time with your assessor to discuss your concerns and talk through possible support options.

The Result

We'll provide you with the results on the day. The assessor will talk through these results with you to ensure you fully understand them. We will also send you an electronic copy by the end of the day.

What’s Included

Your Dyslexia Screening includes a calm, one-to-one session with a specialist who takes time to understand how you or your child approaches literacy. The activities are carefully chosen, age-appropriate, and designed to gently explore areas such as reading, spelling, phonological awareness, memory and processing speed. This helps us build a clear picture of strengths and weakness.

You will have the opportunity to talk through the results with the assessor, and you will receive the results of the screening via email by the end of the day.

Who It Helps

Anyone aged 7 and above who is struggling with literacy. During advanced screening tests we 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.
 
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.

How long does the screening take?

The booking slot is for two hours, but the testing time is much shorter 30 to 45 minutes as the appointment includes an initial chat to establish education history and a results chat for analysis. 

No, you can book yourself in through our website, you can choose to undertake either a Dyslexia screening, Dyscalculia screening or both.

After testing the assessor will talk you through the results and make recommendations, they will then turn the results into a pdf and send them to you via email by the end of the day.

You pay the assessor at the end of the appointment by either cash or card. Online appointments will be sent a secure payment link via text message.

Yes, we recommend it. The more comfortable they are the better result we will achieve.
