Why have a Dyslexia or Dyscalculia Assessment?
A diagnostic Dyslexia or Dyscalculia assessment is an essential step in helping children and adults understand both their strengths and challenges.
A diagnosis can identify appropriate support, reasonable adjustments, and access arrangements in school, university, or the workplace.
An assessment completed by an assessor holding an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) provides a lifelong diagnosis and can be used to support applications for the Disabled Students Allowance ( DSA) where students go to university.
What qualifications should a dyslexia assessor have?
Sarah and Cathy each hold an APC (Assessment Practising Certificate), which is a testament to their qualifications, competence, and commitment to quality. Sarah has over 30 years' experience in the field of Specific Learning Difficulties and is widely recognised through her work with DITTAS in training and mentoring specialist, teachers and assessors.
An APC underpins a specialist teacher’s qualifications and competence, enabling them to undertake full diagnostic assessments for Dyslexia and Specific Learning Difficulties. When arranging an assessment, it is important to ensure the assessor holds an APC as it is not a mandatory requirement but demonstrates a commitment to quality and an up-to-date knowledge of assessment procedures.
