I have an SpLD

If you have a diagnosed SpLD, you will need to submit your evidence and make an appointment with a disability adviser.  

I think I have an SpLD

If you are having difficulties with your studies and think it may be due to an undiagnosed SpLD, you can get assessed via our service. Screenings and assessments are not carried out for individual SpLDs. Dyslexia, characteristics of dyspraxia DCD and characteristics of AD(H)D will be assessed together in most cases. The steps below explain how this happens:

• you must first undergo a screening with the Dyslexia/SpLD team;
• if the results indicate the possibility of an SpLD, you are referred for a full diagnostic assessment with a qualified assessor;
  diagnostic assessments costs £95 and once you pay, we allocate you a date for the assessment;
• the diagnostic assessment can take up to 2.5 hours. Once complete, the assessor writes a full report of their findings (this can take around 20 working days);
• we receive a copy of the report. We will write your suggested reasonable adjustments document (SRAD) and send this and your report to both you and your departmental disability officer stating our recommendations.  

To start this journey, please book a screening appointment with the Dyslexia/SpLD team.
