Online Dyslexia Assessments
Providing Clarity Through Comprehensive Dyslexia Assessment
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.
