During an assessment

​

The assessment can take place at your home or place of education. It takes 2-3 hours to complete depending on age and individual needs, will have rest breaks where required and can take place over two sessions where necessary.

​

As an assessor, teacher and parent, I understand that the unknown situation may cause anxiety. Time is taken to establish a positive relationship before any formal testing begins. During the assessment, tests will look at:

• General ability (aspects of verbal and visual ability)

• Cognitive processing (how the brain takes in information and transforms it, stores it, recovers it and uses it)

• Literacy skills (reading, spelling, and writing)

​

After an assessment

​

At the end of the assessment, some brief feedback will be given and I will answer any questions. I will produce a detailed report which will be emailed to you within 15 working days of the assessment. If I have been unable to give much feedback on the day, a telephone conversation will be offered to further explain the results of the assessment.

​

The report includes:

• An overview of the report contents

• A diagnosis if one is found

• A summary of the background information

• A full analysis of the assessment results

• Recommendations for home, educational setting or workplace and includes exam access arrangements if necessary.
