What is the difference between the Dyslexia Screener and more detailed assessments?
The Dyslexia Screener is a quick initial assessment to see how far a test-taker’s profile of abilities and skills match those of people who have been found to have dyslexia. Further diagnostic assessments then focus on particular skills such as spelling and the processing of speech sounds, in order to build up a detailed view of what the person can and cannot currently do, so as to identify the most appropriate form of specialised tuition for that person.
