Assessment Services

The Dear Dyslexic Foundation offers assessment services to establish comprehensive learning and language profile that identifies any learning difficulties for the purpose of intervention and/or diagnosis of learning disabilities, with recommendations and strategies to help you succeed in life!  

All assessments include a consultation session, feedback session with a Neuropsychologist, and a report, and take from over 7 to 10 hours to complete over a number of days.

On the first day of the assessment:

  • A preliminary interview at the beginning of the day, including discussion on the background information provided in advance

  • A standardised cognitive (IQ) test

  • A variety of language assessments

  • A feedback session on how the process has gone. Here, the Neuropsychologist’s will present summary test results, as well as explain the meaning of these results. The Neuropsychologist’s preliminary thoughts on the best strategies to address any issues identified will also be discussed including strategies for study or in the workplace. In some instances, referrals to other specialists may also be considered such as a psychologist or counsellor.

  • Recommendations for further assistance that might be helpful such as tutoring, peer support programs and assistive technology
