Process of Assessment

Screening

• Initial introduction and information at induction with an interview slot assigned.
• Screening process: There is a lengthy interview with screening based questions and tests. This is to assess the student’s history, problems and their particular strengths. The student can then sit the computer based screening tool and if indicators of dyslexia are identified, more detailed screening is offered in order to ascertain the exact nature of the problem. If the student shows potential indicators for dyslexia, then a full assessment with a psychologist will be offered.
• Students can take advantage of a learning styles inventory in order to assess their preferred learning style.

Educational Psychologist

• A full cognitive assessment will be offered and a statement produced detailing the results of all tests.
• The psychologist will make recommendations for relevant support required by clients found to show traits of dyslexia.

Support

• Those clients who are found to be dyslexic will be offered 1 to 1 tutorial support. This tuition is based on multi-sensory teaching and learning techniques and centres on individual learning needs and strengths.
• Students can take advantage of resources available such as voice-activated software, mind-mapping packages and predictive software.

All screening, assessment and support is carried out in strict confidence.
