Screening

Dyslexia Screening for age 5-8

When a child is between the ages of 5 and 8, they are in a crucial stage of their literacy development. While every child learns at their own pace, some may show early signs of difficulty with skills like rhyming, letter sounds, or reading. A dyslexia screening for this age group is a proactive and gentle way to get an early indication of a child's learning profile.

This screening is a valuable initial step that can highlight potential risk factors for dyslexia. It's not a formal diagnosis, but it provides a clear picture of a child's strengths and weaknesses. Following the screening, you will receive a computer generated report with an Early Dyslexia Diagnostic Index (EDDI), which helps inform whether further support or a full assessment may be beneficial.

Screening takes approximately 20-30 minutes, and you will be provided with a printed report.

£45 - including a 20-30 minute test and a computer generated report which includes a DRI. 

Dyslexia Screening for age 8+

A dyslexia screening is a crucial first step in identifying a learner's potential strengths and areas for development. Unlike a full diagnostic assessment, a screening provides a quick and effective early indication of a persons literacy profile. It uses a series of tailored tests to assess a range of skills.

Upon completion, you will receive a written report that includes a Dyslexia Risk Index (DRI). The DRI is a key indicator that highlights the level of risk for dyslexia, helping to guide the next steps in a student's educational journey and to inform targeted support strategies.

Screening takes approximately 20-30 minutes, and you will be provided with a computer generated report.

Screening plus

Beyond the initial screening, I also provide a comprehensive screening service for 5 year old and above. Over the course of 1-2 hours, I will work through a series of detailed activities designed to pinpoint your specific strengths and areas for growth. Following the session, you will receive a short report that clearly outlines any early gaps and provides targeted recommendations for practical strategies you can use at home or in school. This also includes the initial screening and report from above. 

£150 - including screening, 1-2 hours working with the student, and an additional personalised 2 page report with suggested next steps.
