Unlocking Your Child's Potential
Fast, thorough dyslexia assessments that give children and schools the answers they need.
What we offer
Dyslexia affects around 1 in 10 people — but many children go unidentified for years, often experiencing frustration, low confidence and a growing belief that they simply are not clever enough. A comprehensive dyslexia assessment can change all of that. At Abacus Psychology Service, we provide fast, thorough dyslexia assessments for children using standardised, nationally recognised tools. Our detailed reports include practical recommendations for school-based provision, home strategies and any specialist intervention needed.
Why Identifying Dyslexia Early Matters
When dyslexia goes unrecognised, children do not just fall behind academically — they often begin to see themselves as failures. The impact on self-esteem, motivation and mental health can be profound and long-lasting. An early assessment means that the right support can be put in place before these secondary effects take hold. It gives children a framework to understand their own brain, access adjustments like extra time in exams, and receive targeted literacy intervention that can make a real difference.
What Our Dyslexia Assessment Covers
Standardised Assessment Tools
We use nationally recognised tools to evaluate reading, spelling, phonological processing, working memory, processing speed and writing — providing an accurate, evidence-based profile.
Cognitive Profile Analysis
We assess your child's broader cognitive strengths and difficulties, helping to identify whether dyslexia is present alone or alongside other learning differences such as dyscalculia or dyspraxia.
Detailed Written Report
Our reports are clear, comprehensive and actionable — detailing the assessment findings, your child's learning profile, and specific recommendations for school, home and specialist support.
Exam Access Arrangements
Our reports provide the evidence needed to apply for access arrangements such as extra time, a reader or a scribe in school and public examinations.
School Recommendations
We provide targeted, practical recommendations for teachers and support staff — including specific literacy interventions, classroom strategies and reasonable adjustments.
Feedback & Next Steps
We always provide a feedback session to discuss the results with you and your child — explaining the findings clearly and mapping out a practical path forward.
