What happens during an assessment?

A free conversation
Talk about your concerns and what you hope to find out. There is no need to know which service you need.
A little background
After your conversation, Kim requests the relevant background information to help plan your assessment.
Your assessment
The assessment is tailored to the individual. It typically takes around 2–3 hours, depending on the assessment and circumstances.
Understanding the results
Kim considers the findings alongside your background and experiences of learning.
Your report, where applicable
Full reports explain strengths, difficulties and recommendations. Please allow up to three weeks after assessment.
What does a full diagnostic report include?
Feedback and next steps
Once your report is completed, Kim talks through the findings and recommendations in straightforward language and gives you time to ask questions. You are not left to interpret the report on your own.

Tell Kim about any deadlines during your initial conversation so that timings can be agreed beforehand.
