Dyslexia Assessor Recomendations Wanted


Magrat

Recommended Posts

Hi. My Son needs to have a post 16 Dyslexia assessment before he starts University later this month. The centre where he had his initial assessment can't fit him in in time so I'm looking for someone else who can do an assessment. If anyone has any recommendations for registered assessors I would be really grateful to hear from you with their details. Many thanks.

i just had my 17 year daughter assessed in the summer by Dr Cloherty who is a local psychologist and lives in Peckham. she has a website www.clinicalneuropsychologist.co.uk. She was very professional produced a very helpful report and has worked at great ormond street before. very nice nature with my daughter as well as she was rather nervous. let me know if you need any more details Kate

Karen, you might find that the University will do this for him, you might want to check?v I am at a university and we pay for students to do the test if needed.

You can also go to the BDA (british dyslexia association) who will know assessors in your area.

I had my test when I was at University (London South Bank University). It was recommended to all students that if you suspected that you're dyslexic that you apply for the test. Once you're tested and a recommendation is made you are then referred and interviewed for your assessment of needs.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
