What do individuals get out of it?

Perhaps most important, you get the opportunity to reflect on and to talk through your difficulties with an expert practitioner Psychologist who will listen to you.

Following the assessment, you will have a profile of your strong and weak areas. You will be advised on what all these mean in terms of education or employment. You receive a detailed set of recommendations to remedy any weaknesses and/or significant under-achievements so that you can improve your skills.

The assessment report also includes a set of well- researched websites offering further resources and information, plus appropriate reading suggestions. You will get a detailed, user-friendly report which will enable you to access help and support whether in the workplace or in a learning environment.

Some of the report is technical (by its nature) but the practitioner Psychologist will take time and care to explain anything you may not understand. Often a discussion will centre around what the results may mean for your future studies or career path.

Those completing an assessment very often describe a strong sense of relief at knowing they are intellectually capable and that the problems they’ve been experiencing are not due to them being ‘thick’ but to SpLD. The knowledge that they can improve and learn to manage their SpLD can be extremely liberating for people.
