Our SpLD Profile Assessment is a holistic screener designed for adults who want to explore signs of specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, or ADHD, without undergoing a full diagnostic assessment.
The report confirms traits of specific learning difficulties and can help guide decisions around support, reasonable adjustments, including exam access arrangements, and onward referral as appropriate.
This holistic assessment gathers information from a range of sources, as appropriate to the individual, and includes:
This approach ensures a well-rounded perspective that helps to build a clearer understanding of an individual’s unique learning profile.
The tools we use in this assessment allow us to consider areas that are typically associated with:
We also explore areas which may include:

This assessment can be beneficial for individuals experiencing difficulties in the workplace, in education, or in everyday life who feel these challenges may be linked to previously unidentified learning differences. A SpLD Profile Assessment explores whether such difficulties may be associated with traits commonly seen in specific learning differences, such as dyslexia, ADHD, or dyspraxia.
The assessment helps individuals gain a clearer understanding of their strengths and challenges. Many people find this increased self-awareness empowering, as it enables them to make sense of past experiences and to identify appropriate support or reasonable adjustments that may help them move forward with greater confidence.
This assessment does not provide a formal diagnosis, as it does not include the full battery of tests required to meet SASC criteria for a full diagnostic report. However, its flexible format allows the assessment and report to be tailored to the individual’s circumstances. This ensures that the findings are relevant and that the recommendations are practical, personalised, and aligned with current needs.
No. Only a full diagnostic assessment report can be used as evidence of a SpLD for DSA purposes. Our full diagnostic assessment service is suitable for students wanting to apply for DSA.
Yes. This assessment provides a comprehensive overview of your strengths and areas of difficulty, helping to clarify why certain aspects of the workplace may feel more challenging. Many individuals find that gaining a deeper understanding of their learning profile is empowering, as it enables them to better articulate their needs and identify the types of support or adjustments that may help them perform at their best.
Access to Work does not require a formal diagnosis, and many individuals who receive support identify as having a specific learning difference without holding any formal evidence.
However, our SpLD Profile Assessment would provide an up-to-date overview of your needs and clearly outline how your challenges are currently impacting you. This can help make the application process smoother and ensure you can present a clear and comprehensive account of your difficulties and the support you may require.
Yes. The assessment includes reviewing your learning history from childhood, which can clarify past challenges at school, especially if support was lacking. Many adults find this process validating and emotional, as it helps them better understand and reframe their earlier experiences.
Our SpLD Profile Assessments cost £250+VAT (£300 in total).
Online screeners can be useful as a quick and cost-effective way to highlight traits associated with Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs), or the likelihood of conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, or dyspraxia. However, they are computer-based tools that rely solely on the responses provided and, in some cases, on-screen test performance. Their conclusions are generated algorithmically and do not involve professional interpretation of wider contextual factors.
Our SpLD Profile Assessment is different. It is conducted face-to-face with a qualified assessor who considers both quantitative data and rich qualitative evidence. As experienced practitioners trained to diagnose SpLDs in adults, we bring professional judgement, clinical insight, and the ability to explore responses in depth — something a computer cannot replicate. We can ask follow-up questions, adapt our approach, and be guided by the individual’s lived experience when forming conclusions. As a result, no two reports are the same; each assessment and report is tailored to reflect the individual’s circumstances and current needs.
While we cannot compete with computerised screeners on price, if you are seeking a genuinely personalised assessment experience, we offer a level of professional insight and individualised understanding that automated tools simply cannot provide.
The way in which exam arrangements are allocated varies depending on your course and the institution at which you are studying. While this type of assessment report would include relevant information to support recommendations for exam arrangements (such as extra time, use of a laptop, or a computer reader), it is important to check with your exam provider to confirm the level of evidence they require.
In some cases, a full diagnostic assessment report is necessary; in others, a shorter report may be accepted, provided it has been completed by an appropriately qualified assessor. If you are unsure about the required evidence, please contact us, and we will be happy to advise you.

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 so much for such a detailed and thorough report. It has been very insightful. I am also grateful to you for conducting the assessment so promptly. I will go back through and review the recommendations to improve the identified areas. The assessment has provided much more than anticipated.
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.
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.
Thank you for today. The assessment was very comprehensive and worthwhile. It gives us so many answers and will provide extra support for Elena at the university. I really appreciate the kindness you showed her today.
