New rules for Dyslexia Assessment! Now a Diagnostic Assessment, carried out by a professional with an APC (Assessment Practising Certificate) can be used throughout their schooling and will be valid to apply for support and additional funding (via DSA) in higher education. At last, no need for another assessment post-16!

Have I got dyslexia? Has my child got dyslexia? What are Specific Learning Difficulties?
"Specific Learning Difficulties" (SpLD) is a term that covers a range of learning differences, that include Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia and also is closely related to ADHD/ADD and Autistic Conditions.
Every person is unique, and most people have "co-occurring" specific learning difficulties - that is, they may have strengths and difficulties associated with more than one SpLD label.
If attainment does not meet reasonable expectations, despite effort, opportunity and practise SpLD is often the underlying cause.
Early identification of a SpLD, via formal assessment, the more positive the outcome.
