Dyslexia Screening (Pre-Diagnostic)
Pre-diagnostic dyslexia screening offers an initial, evidence-informed overview of an individual’s learning strengths and difficulties to help determine whether a full diagnostic assessment is recommended.
Screening is an initial profile indicator and does not constitute a formal diagnostic assessment under SASC guidelines. A full diagnostic assessment is required for formal identification, exam access, DSA applications, or official workplace adjustments.
