Dyslexia Screener
Available for Schools/Parents £260
In contrast to many on-screen assessment tools, the Dyslexia Screener used by LSD is not an on-screen tool but instead an individualised assessment carried out by a Specialist Assessor. A report is provided that can be used to make recommendations for teaching. Ideal for children whose performance in literacy is causing concern. A personalised programme of support can also be added (see below) to ensure the recommendations are implemented effectively. Please note this is not a diagnostic assessment and cannot be used to apply for DSA (Disabled Students Allowance).
Diagnostic Assessment
Available for Schools/Parents £550
A diagnostic assessment that formally identifies Dyslexia. Unlike the Dyslexia Screener, the full diagnostic assessment provides a more in-depth analysis of a child's cognitive profile, as well as strengths and weaknesses. A Personalised Literacy Programme (PLP) of support can also be added (see below) to ensure the recommendations are implemented effectively. This report can be used for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) to apply for funded support.
Personalised Literacy Programme (PLP) for reading and spelling difficulties
Schools only £295
A PLP can be created once a Dyslexia Screener or Diagnostic Assessment has been completed, or as a stand alone package of support (without cognitive assessments). A Personalised Literacy Programme can be used by SENCOs, teachers and support staff to target specific areas of difficulty with reading and spelling.
