For dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia in children and adults, with detailed reports and practical recommendations.
Educational Psychologist Assessments for Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia
Understand the wider picture behind learning difficulties.
Difficulties with learning aren't always confined to reading and spelling. Some people experience persistent problems with maths and numbers. Others find handwriting, written expression or physically producing written work particularly difficult.
Our Educational Psychologist Assessment can consider dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia within one comprehensive assessment.
Could the difficulty be dyslexia?
Dyslexia can affect areas including reading, spelling, writing, phonological processing, memory and processing speed.
The way it affects each individual varies, which is why a professional assessment considers a much wider profile than one or two obvious symptoms.
Could it be dyscalculia?
People seeking advice about dyscalculia may experience severe and persistent mathematical difficulties.
Suzanne's team frequently sees people who transpose numbers or continue to experience substantial difficulty with maths despite working extremely hard.
Some adults approach the service after repeatedly struggling to achieve a Maths GCSE and wanting to understand why.
Could it be dysgraphia?
Possible difficulties can include:
- producing legible handwriting
- holding and controlling a pen or pencil
- transferring thoughts onto paper
- very slow handwriting speed.
Experiencing these difficulties doesn't by itself establish a diagnosis. Assessment is needed to understand the individual's wider profile.
One comprehensive assessment – £795
Our educational psychologist can consider dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia within the same assessment.
The assessment takes approximately two hours and can consider areas including reading, spelling, phonological processing, memory, verbal and visual abilities, handwriting speed and legibility, and maths.
What will I receive afterwards?
Following the assessment, you'll receive:
- feedback about the findings
- diagnosis where supported by the assessment
- a detailed written report
- practical recommendations
- recommendations relevant to school, university or work where appropriate
- an opportunity for follow-up discussion.

I booked a dyslexia test earlier this year and was in a rush to meet my universities deadline. Dyslexia West Midlands were very considerate about the time pressure due to my deadline and I received my report much quicker than estimated. The test was carried out professionally and in a comfortable environment. I highly recommend if you are considering getting a dyslexia test.

Our son had been struggling academically, socially and emotionally at school. The team have been so patient with him and employed many different strategies to enable him learn at his own level. Suzanne came in to do an observation on him at school and provided a detailed report to the school, suggesting many strategies the school could try to enable him to access his learning more effectively, maintain concentration for longer and generally be happier at school.

I can't praise Suzanne and her team highly enough; very professional but with a relaxed manner which creates a great atmosphere for our 9 year old son to learn in.

After a discussion through a free consultation we decided to get my daughter assessed. The process was very simple and the report was very thorough. My daughter now feels more confident and happy in her approach to learning and school. Thanks Dyslexia West Midlands.
I only called to get more information because my daughter (year 4) really struggles with spelling. Suzanne asked a number of very precise questions and suggested to do a vision test. Now my daughter has glasses and seems much more confident. We will see how that might affect her spelling but I would never have known that she might be struggling with her vision. Thank you so much! I am beyond grateful.
