Dyslexia screening services
Who benefits from screening services?
Anyone aged 8-16 and who is struggling with literacy. In line with best practice, I do not screen any child under the age of 8 years old.
GL Assessment Screening
I use GL Assessments to inform my screening programme. The computer-based screener aims to highlight varying degrees of dyslexic tendencies. It contains 6 assessments which test problem solving ability, information processing and word-level processing.
What will the screener tell me?
- Indicators of dyslexia with a screening report.
- It's impact on the individual's learning and further recommendations (if any).
What will happen on the day?
I will guide your child through the screening process. All screenings take place in my tutor room in Earls Colne and can take up to one hour to complete. On the same day a report will be generated with the findings of the screener.
Information needed
In order to process a dyslexia screener, the following information about your child will be needed:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Unique pupil number (obtainable from the school)
- Current school year group
- Pupil Premium status
- Any existing SEND
- Any interventions
The dyslexia screening tests do not provide evidence for examination support. They are not a formal diagnosis of dyslexia.
