+ Dyslexia Assessments [Face to Face & Online]
- This assessment is to determine whether an individual is dyslexic or dyspraxic through an interview and a series of short tests
- If you think you might be eligible for a workplace adjustment, you will require this assessment to determine whether you have a specific learning difficulty
- If you're considering returning to education, this assessment will determine whether you are eligible for support
- For parents, the outcome will inform whether a child has a specific learning difficulty, what aspects in their learning are impacted and includes an array of recommendations to support the child at school and at home
+ Reasonable Adjustments in the Workplace (for HR managers / employers)
- Under the Equality Act of 2010, employers must make reasonable adjustments to ensure workers with dyslexia / dyspraxia are not substantially disadvantaged when doing their jobs
- In order to qualify, you must have had a formal assessment. If you require one, please see dyslexia assessments above
- For HR managers, through this assessment we can provide recommendations on ways to support your teams in order to improve staff productivity and retention
+ DSA (Disabled Student Allowance)
- The assessment informs the student as to their form of dyslexia / dyspraxia, their strengths and recommendations for their on-going studies in higher education
- Individuals with a DSA assessment can get 1-2-1 support, assistive technology, and sympathetic marking, etc whilst at university
+ Exam Access Arrangements (EAAs)
- Exam access arrangements can be put in place for students sitting GCSE’s, Foundation Skills, and A Levels in educational settings. These can only be granted at the student’s place of study such as their school or college
- Allowances are only given if they are a student’s ‘normal way of working’ and the candidate has a ‘history of need’
