What to expect at your educational assessment?
Every educational assessment is unique and varies based on its intended purpose. We conduct all assessments in our comfortable and welcoming offices, ensuring a stress-free experience for our clients.
How are Educational Assessments
conducted?
Once you have booked an appointment, you will be asked to complete a pre-assessment questionnaire that will help the assessor understand the difficulties you are facing. The questionnaire should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.
The assessment itself will take between 90 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the appointment that you have booked. You will not be asked to bring anything except your glasses and any coloured filters that you use.
There will be plenty opportunity for rest breaks in our community lounge.
How do I receive the results of the assessment?
Each report is different based on the assessment that you have booked. A full dyslexia report is approximately 24 pages long and will be emailed to you within 4 weeks. These reports will outline the background information that you have provided in the questionnaire and any discussions and observations from the assessment session. There will also be a diagnostic outcome and analysis, together with age appropriate recommendations for you and your educational establishment.
​
The report will be written in accordance with SASC regulations and can be used to apply for Disability Student Allowance.
