Explore Whether Dyslexia May Be Relevant
A structured screening for adults who want an initial indication of whether their pattern of performance shows indicators associated with dyslexia.
The screening uses direct performance-based tasks rather than relying on a questionnaire, helping you decide whether a full diagnostic assessment may be useful.
Available online, with in-person appointments across East Sussex, surrounding areas and Essex.
Adults wanting an initial indication
Useful if you are wondering whether dyslexia may be relevant but are not yet looking for a full diagnostic assessment.
Direct performance-based tasks
The screening looks at your performance across structured tasks rather than asking you to complete a dyslexia questionnaire.
Screening is not diagnosis
The results can indicate whether further assessment may be useful, but do not provide a formal diagnosis of dyslexia.
A Smaller First Step
Dyslexia Screening can be useful when you have noticed patterns in reading, writing or learning and want an initial indication before deciding whether a full assessment is needed.
Reading
Reading may take more time or concentration, or you may find yourself rereading information to take it in.
Writing & spelling
Written work, spelling or getting your thoughts onto the page may require more conscious effort.
Learning & study
You may have noticed longstanding differences in how you learn, remember or work with written information.
Unsure about full assessment
You may simply want an initial indication before deciding whether investing in a full Cognitive SpLD Assessment is appropriate.
A Structured, Performance-Based Screening
The screening uses direct tasks designed to explore indicators associated with dyslexia and produces a Dyslexia Risk Index.
Background
We consider the reason you are seeking screening and the patterns you have noticed in learning or everyday life.
Structured tasks
You complete direct performance-based tasks rather than relying solely on self-report or questionnaire responses.
Risk indicator
The pattern of results is used to produce a Dyslexia Risk Index and consider whether dyslexia indicators are present.
Next steps
The findings can help you decide whether a full diagnostic assessment would be useful.

Before You Book
Will this tell me whether I definitely have dyslexia?
No. Screening provides an indication of dyslexia risk rather than a formal diagnosis. A full diagnostic assessment is needed where diagnostic confirmation is required.
Is the screening just a questionnaire?
No. The screening uses structured direct performance-based tasks and produces a Dyslexia Risk Index.
What if the screening indicates dyslexia?
The findings can help you decide whether to proceed to a full Cognitive SpLD Assessment for a more detailed profile and formal diagnostic consideration.
Can I skip screening and book a full assessment?
Yes. Screening is not required before a Cognitive SpLD Assessment. If you already know that you need a detailed or diagnostic assessment, you can go directly to that service.
Can dyslexia screening be completed online?
Yes. Dyslexia Screening can be completed online or in person, depending on what works best for you.
