Screening and Assessment
Do you think you may have dyslexia or another specific learning difficulty but you aren’t sure?
One of the Learning Advisers in the Learning and Teaching Unit will carry out an initial screening and advise whether a diagnostic assessment is required and how to organise this. Contact add@soas.ac.uk to make an appointment.
Have you been diagnosed before and need information or advice?
Contact one of the Student disability officers, Zoë Davis zd@soas.ac.uk or Angie Axon aa113@soas.ac.uk tel: 020 7074 5018 to discuss procedures and services available
Going for an assessment: procedures and financial support
The assessment will be carried out by an Educational Psychologist or specialist teacher. The Disability Officer or the Learning Adviser will give you a contact list.
Assessments cost approximately £350. If you need help paying for this, the International and student welfare officers will advise you about how to apply to the Access Fund.
Home students can also apply for Hardship funds to help with the cost. Overseas and EU students can discuss other possible sources of extra funding. Click here for contact details.
If the assessment finds that you do have dyslexia or other specific learning difficulty, contact Zoë or Angie about the support you are entitled to.
