Adult Dyslexia Assessments
It's never too late to understand why some things have always felt harder.
Many adults come to Dyslexia West Midlands after wondering for years whether they might be dyslexic.
Perhaps a teacher mentioned it when you were younger but nothing was ever investigated. Maybe you've developed your own strategies for coping, yet reading, spelling, writing or processing information still takes considerably more effort than it seems to for other people.
For some adults, the trigger is a new job, promotion or university course. For others, it's simply reaching the point where they want an explanation.
Have you always wondered if you're dyslexic?
Adults who contact us commonly describe difficulties such as:
- spelling accurately
- reading quickly
- writing emails
- spotting their own written mistakes
- putting thoughts into writing
- remembering information
- reading aloud confidently
- feeling that they have to work harder than other people
- lacking confidence when considering promotion or further study.
Some have spent years questioning their own ability when the real issue may be a specific learning difficulty.
