Dyslexia Assessments for Children and Adults
If you suspect that you, your child or somebody you support may be dyslexic, a professional assessment can provide much more than a simple yes or no answer.
It can build a detailed picture of strengths and difficulties, help explain why particular areas of learning have proved challenging and provide practical recommendations for moving forwards.
Dyslexia West Midlands provides diagnostic assessments for children, young people and adults through specialist dyslexia teachers, educational psychologists and consulting psychologists.

What does a dyslexia assessment involve?
Before the appointment, we'll send questionnaires to gather relevant background information.
The assessment itself usually takes between approximately two-and-a-half and three-and-a-half hours, depending upon the assessment being undertaken.
It can explore areas including:
- reading and reading efficiency
- comprehension
- spelling
- writing skills and writing speed
- phonological processing and awareness
- phonological memory
- processing speed
- memory
- verbal and visual abilities.
The precise combination will depend on the assessment and the individual.
