Dyscalculia and Dyslexia Assessments

I know how hard some young people find maths, reading, writing and spelling and how difficult it can be to get them the help they need. Having spent years in primary education, I became a specialist dyslexia teacher and assessor in 2012. I spent the following years working in Learning Support departments. I then trained to become a specialist dyscalculia teacher and assessor in 2018. I carry out dyscalculia and dyslexia screeners remotely and full dyscalculia and/or dyslexia assessments in-person, with a reduction in the price of the full cost of the assessment if you decide to go ahead with this following  a screener administered by me.

​

Diagnosing dyscalculia and dyslexia should only be done by specially trained assessors with an appropriate qualification at Level 7. I have done two Masters-level courses in diagnostic assessment and regularly update my training through accredited providers.

 

With my understanding of maths anxiety and the very real difficulties that may be faced by the client when completing the maths assessment tasks, I pride myself in being able to make positive connections with my assessees and ensure the process is as stress-free as possible. The diagnostic dyscalculia and dyslexia assessments are carried out in-person across the course of one day, with any additional testing taking place remotely.  

​

During the assessment process, the client is asked to provide information that will help me to understand their needs; all information is kept confidential and stored securely, according to my GDPR policy. Once the assessments tests have been administered, the report will usually be completed within four to six weeks.  The entire process of assessment, statistical analysis and report-writing takes a minimum of twenty hours so the fee for a full assessment ranges from £500 to £800. I am happy to offer payment plans as I appreciate that this is an expensive service.
