How the service works
A straightforward extension of your existing service
Remote screening
If useful, I can run my neurodiversity screener remotely with a referred student cohort before the campus visit. Screening arrangements and pricing are agreed with the university according to cohort size and scope.
Cohort planning
We review the screening outcomes and relevant background information, then agree the number and mix of assessment appointments required.
On campus
The two-assessor team can complete four full dyslexia assessments per day, or six to eight focused attention/dyspraxia-traits assessments per day.
Afterwards
Reports are completed remotely and returned within the timeframe agreed for the booking.
This provides at least 20 student appointments in a five-day block, with greater capacity depending on the assessment mix.

Remote
Cohort neurodiversity screener
I can run my neurodiversity screener remotely with a referred student cohort, looking for indicators associated with dyslexia, attention difficulties/ADHD and dyspraxia to help identify the most appropriate next step.
Screening is indicative and is not a diagnosis.
Pricing is tailored to the number of students and the agreed screening process.
Diagnostic
Dyslexia / SpLD assessment · £450
A SASC-aligned diagnostic assessment and report. Where indicated and within the agreed scope, the assessment can also consider attention and motor-coordination traits and their functional impact.
Focused traits
Attention or dyspraxia-traits assessment · £350
Explores the pattern and functional impact of relevant traits to inform support planning and potential DSA evidence.
This is not a medical diagnosis; evidence requirements remain subject to the relevant funding body.
Institutional pricing
Tailored to the block
A tailored quotation is provided for each block, taking account of cohort size, assessment mix, any cohort screening required, travel, accommodation and reporting requirements.
