Online Dyslexia Assessments

At Dyslexia Help UK, we provide comprehensive online diagnostic dyslexia assessments for children, students and adults across the UK. Assessments are carried out by a qualified specialist teacher and assessor with over 20 years of experience in education.

​

Many people seek an assessment after years of unexplained difficulties with reading, spelling, writing and study demands. Others require a formal diagnosis to access support in education, the workplace, or through Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). A diagnostic assessment can provide a clear understanding of strengths, areas of difficulty, and appropriate next steps.

What Our Diagnostic Assessment Offers:

​Comprehensive Assessment

Each assessment explores a range of cognitive and literacy skills, including reading, spelling, writing, phonological processing, memory, and processing speed. This provides a clear picture of strengths and areas of difficulty.

​

Clear Answers and Understanding

The assessment identifies whether a student meets the criteria for dyslexia and highlights any related learning differences. This helps to remove uncertainty and provides a clear basis for next steps.

​

Detailed Report

Following the assessment, you will receive a detailed diagnostic report explaining the findings, outlining strengths and areas of difficulty, and providing practical recommendations. The report includes standardised scores, a full explanation of the assessment outcomes, and guidance to support future planning.

​

A diagnostic report can be used:

• to confirm a diagnosis of dyslexia to support applications for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA)

• as evidence for schools, colleges and universities

• to support discussions around exam arrangements, where external reports are considered

• to inform appropriate support and intervention

• to provide a clear explanation of long-standing difficulties

​

What the Assessment Process Includes:

• Initial information gathering to understand background and concerns

• A full diagnostic assessment carried out online

• Careful analysis of results using standardised measures

• A written report with detailed findings and recommendations

• Optional follow up to discuss outcomes and next steps

​

Who the Assessment Is Suitable For:

• Children and young people where there are concerns about reading, writing, or spelling

• Students who may require formal identification to access support or exam arrangements

• Individuals who have ongoing difficulties despite intervention

• Adult students who require evidence for further education support
