I offer cognitive assessments for adults (16+).

The assessment primarily focuses on dyslexia and involves taking a detailed history and completing various cognitive/literacy tasks.

The assessment may identify a dyslexic profile and provide a formal diagnosis which can be used to provide evidence to support an application for:

  • Disabled Students’ Allowance.

  • Access to Work.

  • Examination accommodations in HE and professional qualifications.

For GCSE and A Level examinations, applications for alternative arrangements are administrated by the school/college in accordance with the Joint Council for Qualification guidlines.

Assessments

I provide a diagnostic assessment of dyslexia, which may result in a formal diagnosis.

As part of the assessment, where appropriate, I also carry out in-depth interviews/screening for dyspraxia/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Condition.  This can be used to:

  • Provide evidence in support of reasonable adjustments.

  • Provide interim recommendations for support on the basis of a ‘working’ or ‘indicative’ diagnosis.

  • Support a referral for a formal diagnosis.

A formal diagnosis is required for accessing medical care.

Fees

The assessment fee for a diagnostic assessment is £550

A 20% deposit is required to book the appointment and the balance is due on the day of the appointment.
