Thanet Dyslexia Screenings

Thanet Dyslexia Services offer screening for those who are presenting with low literacy attainment, or who have undergone a basic screener previously, which has indicated dyslexic tendencies.

Screeners are not complete diagnostic assessment tools and therefore they do not diagnose dyslexia, but they provide a more detailed assessment of an individual's strengths and weaknesses and can indicate whether a full diagnostic assessment would be beneficial.

The screening lasts 60 minutes and takes place face-to-face either at our premises or in the child's school subject to the school's agreement. A short report is provided to parents/guardians within 5 working days and if dyslexic tendencies are seen, then useful strategies are outlined, supporting learning moving forward. Please note, this is not suitable for Disability Student's Allowance (DSA) or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

If a diagnostic assessment subsequently takes place, the screening cost will be deducted from the cost of a complete dyslexia assessment.

Screening cost is £195. Full payment is required at time of booking.

Thanet Dyslexia Services have provided an exemplary service throughout the Dyslexia assessment. They explained the process and cost clearly in advance, and the face-to-face tests were extremely thorough, carried out with care and compassion for my child, who has communication challenges. There were plenty of breaks to ensure that it was not overwhelming. The report was very detailed and clearly explained the basis for the conclusions, with practical recommendations for the school to implement. All in all, a highly professional and excellent service; I would not hesitate to recommend Thanet Dyslexia Services to others.

My daughter found the assessment to be incredibly relaxed with breaks throughout. Jennifer was so patient, and she adapted the assessment to my daughter's pace, which put her at ease. The report was extremely clear and thorough, with a high level of detail, practical tips and recommendations to aid in moving forward. I cannot recommend the service highly enough.

From our first conversation with Jennifer, I felt reassured that she really understood our son and his needs. The assessment was carried out in familiar, comfortable surroundings, and he was immediately put at ease, which made the whole experience really positive. The report was incredibly useful, giving us a much better understanding of how he learns, along with clear, practical recommendations that we could use both at home and at school. The service was supportive, personal, and professional, and I genuinely feel the assessment helped open up our son's world.
