ASSESS
Pre-16
Our diagnostic dyslexia assessments are tailored to identify strengths and areas for improvement for children. We can assess children aged 8 to 16 years. Assessing in childhood can be beneficial as the brain is still developing and responsive to interventions.
Our comprehensive dyslexia report provides valuable insights and actionable recommendations for schools. Alongside the comprehensive report we also provide 10 Core Practical Recommendations to help children progress. Contact us today to schedule a dyslexia assessment and unlock your full potential.

Access Arrangements
An access arrangement assessment must be carried out no earlier than Year 9 and in accordance with the regulations set out by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).
Access Arrangements can be conducted for schools and as 'standalone' access arrangements. The assessment looks at a range of factors, including information processing, reading and writing speed, to determine whether a learner requires additional support when working under timed conditions.
NOURISH
Brain Nutrient Assessment
- coming soon!
Adequate nutrition is crucial for optimal cognitive (brain) function, especially for individuals with processing differences or dyslexia.
We are less likely to learn or work to our full cognitive capacity if our brains are not adequately fuelled.
At Dyslexia Insight, you can have the option of having a nutrient intake profiling assessment.
This would be analysed for intakes of key brain nutrients and a feedback report provided. Contact us to learn more.
