Online dyslexia assessment
Explore assessment from home, with suitability agreed during your free conversation.
Assessment from the comfort of your own home
Your dyslexia assessment can be completed online, with suitability discussed during your free conversation. There is no need to travel to an assessment centre.
Online assessment can suit children, young people and adults who prefer to work in a familiar setting, live some distance away, or have work, school or family commitments. It can also be helpful for people who feel anxious about unfamiliar environments.

Is online assessment suitable for me?
The assessment is adapted to the individual. Your assessor discusses suitability and practical considerations beforehand, including any support a child or young person may need. If face-to-face assessment is more appropriate, this can be discussed during your conversation.
Assessments typically take around 2–3 hours, depending on the assessment and circumstances. Timing and any breaks are discussed when planning the appointment.

My daughter was feeling anxious about the assessment, but Kim was kind, patient and reassuring throughout the process. Completing the assessment online, in the comfort of our own home, made such a difference. It helped my daughter feel more relaxed and comfortable, and Kim made the whole process straightforward and manageable. We felt supported at every stage, and the assessment provided us with valuable insight and guidance.
