Dyslexia Assessment – Further Education

Further education brings greater independence and heavier study demands.

This assessment is designed for students in sixth form, college, A-level, BTEC or equivalent courses who may be finding reading, written assignments, revision or organisation harder than expected.

Studying A-levels and other level three qualifications at sixth form/college can be a noticeable jump from GCSEs academically. Further education is a good time to start developing independent study skills during progression towards higher education.

The report gives a clear explanation of the student’s learning profile and offers practical recommendations for study and support.

Benefits:

• Helps identify barriers affecting coursework, revision and exam performance.
• Provides evidence that may help with learning support and access arrangements.
• Supports better independent study strategies.
• Helps students understand why effort may not always translate into results.
• Builds confidence before the transition to university, training or employment.
