How much do you charge?
We charge from £495 for a full diagnostic assessment for children and adults conducted in the assessor's home (including for the Disabled Students Allowance).
One-to-one specialist tuition at home costs from £40 per hour.
What’s the difference between a ‘screener’ and a full assessment?
We often get asked what the difference is between a diagnostic assessment and a screening for dyslexia. Both screening and assessment have their value but have distinct differences, so it is important to consider the options and make the right choice to find the answer you are looking for.
Dyslexia screenings are designed to be a simple, relatively quick (often around 45 minutes) and cost effective method to categorise people into groups who are ‘at risk’ of dyslexia with reasonable accuracy. ‘Screeners’ shouldn’t be seen as an alternative for a thorough and wide-ranging assessment.
A full assessment, like we conduct at DASH, is a much more extensive and multifaceted process by which a diagnosis of dyslexia may be achieved. A battery of different diagnostic tests are used over 2-3 hours and the tests are administered and results interpreted through the judgement of our experienced and qualified assessor.
How long will it take?
A full assessment usually takes 2-3 hours with the person being assessed.
Do I need to provide anything when you assess me?
We will need to sit at a kitchen/dining room table as some of the exercises involve writing but I will bring all the forms, stationery and tests. If you do have copies of previous assessments, then it would be helpful for us to have a look at these. Alternatively the assessment can take place in the assessor's Wilmslow based office.
