Dyslexiask provides Dyslexia Diagnostic Assessments

Dyslexiask provides Dyslexia Diagnostic Assessments. Dyslexia is a common neurodevelopmental learning difficulty that impacts reading, writing, and spelling. It is not an indication of intelligence; rather, it reflects a unique way in which the brain processes language. Understanding is essential for creating inclusive environments that empower all learners. Although dyslexia is a lifelong condition, individuals can develop effective strategies to manage their challenges with the right support. It often co-exists with other difficulties, such as those related to attention, focus, concentration, and motor skills.

People with dyslexia might struggle with: Recognising and decoding words | Spelling and Writing | Processing and Remembering Information | Organisation and Sequencing

How Common is Dyslexia in the UK?

Dyslexia affects approximately 10% of the UK population, with around 4% experiencing severe difficulties. It is one of the most common learning difficulties, often diagnosed in childhood, but sometimes only identified in adulthood. Dyslexia can run in families.

The Comprehensive Dyslexia Assessment Process (Age 8+ and into adulthood)
A comprehensive diagnostic dyslexia assessment is an important first step in ensuring that individuals with dyslexia receive the appropriate specialist support, strategies, and interventions needed for success and progress. It also provides a deeper understanding of their unique learning style, fostering self-confidence and a sense of control over their learning journey.

Background information is requested prior to the assessment itself so that a holistic view of the individual’s strengths and challenges can be thoroughly considered.

Why have a Dyslexia Assessment?
Early identification and support can help individuals with dyslexia thrive in education and work. Many schools and workplaces offer specialist support, including extra time in exams, assistive technology, and tailored learning techniques.

Testing and assessing children from seven years old to adults. Although it is possible to diagnose dyslexia in a child as young as seven, the child must be capable of participating in a thorough assessment process. This involves the child being developmentally able to engage in a range of tasks that test and assess reading, writing, and other cognitive abilities.
