DYSLEXIA SCREENING
Dyslexia Screening for Students
Aged 5-15
Dyslexia Screening tests are designed to give an indication of possible dyslexic difficulties. They are not a diagnosis and are not 100% accurate.
Where the test indicates a moderate or high probability of dyslexic difficulties, the best course of action is to follow up with a full diagnostic assessment. This would determine the precise nature of dyslexia and related difficulties. However, if this is not possible, it should not prevent the individual from receiving appropriate specialist tuition.
There are many types of screening tests: Some are delivered by computer; others need to be administered by a teacher. Some just give an estimate as to whether the individual is likely to have dyslexic difficulties. A few offer a more detailed profile of strengths and weaknesses which help inform an appropriate teaching strategy.
