Dyslexia screening
Should you feel that you may have dyslexia, you can contact us to book an appointment to complete the "LADS Screening ".
This provides a quick and effective screening for possible dyslexia.
Depending on the results of this screening, we may then be able to refer you on to an Educational Psychologist/Specialist Assessor.
They would then identify any Specific Learning Difficulties that you may have.
