Simple steps on your assessment journey
You can get in touch via telephone on 01623 277508 or e-mail us at hello@autismassessmenthub.co.uk
We also have a referral form on our ‘Make a Referral’ page which sets out the information we will need.
Step 1
Pre-Assessment Questionnaire
Before the assessment begins, you will need to complete questionnaires. For an adult assessment, we require you to answer questions on your education history, learning experiences and everyday challenges. For a child dyslexia assessment, we require parents to complete questionnaires covering your child’s developmental history, early milestones, school experience and everyday challenges.
Step 2
Diagnostic Assessment Session
You or your child will attend a session with our specialist team. During the session the assessor will use industry standard tools to explore reading accuracy, spelling, phonological awareness, memory and wider learning profile. This can be completed in-person at your local Hub, or remotely for full flexibility. This can take between 2-3 hours to complete.
Step 3
Report & Review
Following the assessment, we will gather and analyse your results and background information provided. Following this, you will be provided with an easy-to-read report with your assessment outcome. Your report will include insights into your or your child’s learning profile and tailored recommendations for support in school, work and everyday life.
Step 4
Feedback
Once you receive your report, we’ll then arrange feedback session, so you are clear on the outcome. During this session you’ll be able to ask any questions and explore any support recommendations. This is complete via video call and usually lasts for an hour.
What the Assessment Can Support
