Diagnostic assessment by a Specialist Teacher: £265
This assessment requires attendance at one session for approximately 2½ hours. It will examine reading, spelling, phonological awareness, processing speed, short term and working memory, speed of writing and a test of general ability (intelligence). A report will be provided with recommendations.
For a few children who have more complex difficulties, as indicated by the results of initial testing, more extensive assessment may be recommended. This will examine any or all of maths ability, oral language, listening and co-ordination and will further explore any of the areas in the initial assessment in greater depth. The cost for this session will be a further £130.
Detailed diagnostic assessment by a Specialist Teacher: £395
This assessment takes place over two sessions of approximately 2½ hours each. Reading, spelling, maths, general ability, memory, phonological processing and learning style are assessed. A detailed written report is provided with recommendations.
Assessment for Disabled Students Allowance: £295
This assessment, by a Specialist Teacher holding a Practising Certificate for DSA assessment, takes around three hours, and provides a report which can be used to support an application for DSA for students with dyslexic or dyspraxic difficulties in Higher Education.
Coloured Overlay Assessment: £20
Many people find that the glare of white paper makes print appear blurred. Reading speed and fluency often improve when using a coloured plastic filter over the page. Assessment takes approximately 20 minutes. Coloured overlays are available for purchase.
Dyslexia/Literacy or Numeracy Tuition For Children – after school.
Weekly sessions by appointment. 45 minute individual lesson: £25
Handwriting Tuition
For many pupils their progress in school is hindered by slow or illegible handwriting. This can affect the outcome of exam results. Dr Mary Howard administers the tutor register for the National Handwriting Association and is a member of the executive committee. She is also a tutor and offers individual handwriting tuition in sessions after school. Pupils are usually seen at intervals of two or three weeks and are given exercises to practice at home. The cost for this is £40 for a one-hour consultation with follow-up sessions, if required, at £25 for 45 minutes. If there is sufficient demand we run 'Speed Up' courses for a minimum of three students between the ages of 9 to 13. The cost for these are £15 per session for an eight-week course.
