Understanding the starting point
A dyslexia assessment may explore reading accuracy, fluency, spelling, phonological processing and the wider learning profile. Its scope depends on the assessor and reason for referral.
What to consider
- The assessor's qualifications and experience
- Whether a written report and recommendations are included
- How the school or workplace will use the findings
Practical next steps
Ask in advance which questions the assessment can answer and whether its format is recognised by the institution requesting it.
