A dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, or Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) assessment is a diagnostic evaluation conducted by a qualified specialist. It looks at areas such as reading, writing, memory, processing speed and attention to understand how a person learns and whether a learning difference may be present.

Thank you for sending my report through! Thank you for all the detail; I really felt like I was listened to in our meeting, and your notes prove it. I'm looking forward to trying out the strategies you suggested and seeing how things improve in my role.
Thank you for the compassionate way you facilitated the assessment and for allocating extra time to understand my learning needs. I now feel more confident discussing my needs with my manager.
Thank you for this very detailed report, for the compassionate way you facilitated the assessment, and for allocating extra time to understand my learning needs. The recommendations were so detailed. I am looking forward to sharing the report with my employer.
We have used My Kind of Thinking to complete assessments for our students for the last 4 years. Our students find the assessment process a positive experience and Alice always takes the time to talk through the outcomes with us, and we have been able to use the recommendations to help our students as they progress through their courses with us.
I just wanted to say thank you again. I was worried about how I would stay focused for so long during the assessment, but you were easy to understand, professional, and willing to listen.
