This is the initial process in identifying whether or not you may have dyslexia or dyscalculia. A screening will identify possible indicators and estimate whether an individual is ‘at risk’ of having dyslexia or dyscalculia.
All of our screening services are facilitated by a qualified specialist assessor.
Dyscalculia screening test for adults
The Dyslexia Association provides adult’s one-to-one specialist dyscalculia screening which can be completed at our office or remotely.
What is a screening test?
A screening test can provide an indication of whether you are at risk of dyscalculia.
We have two screeners available.
Option A: A detailed checklist and some informal activities in areas of mathematics known to be good indicators of dyscalculic difficulties. The screener is administered by a dyscalculia specialist, who also considers background information (for example, any difficulties you may be experiencing in work or day to day life).
Option B: Only available up to 21 years old. Completion of three activities in areas of mathematics known to be good indicators of dyscalculic difficulties. Your scores are used to give an indication of whether you are at risk of dyscalculia. The test is administered by a specialist assessor who also considers background information (for example, any difficulties you may be experiencing in work or day to day life).
Who is it for?
These tests are suitable for all adults, with Option B only being available up to 21 years old.
Where does it take place?
Option A: This screener can take place face-to-face (in our centre in Nottingham) or via an online platform.
Option B: This assessment can only be administered face-to-face in our centre in Nottingham.

How much does it cost?
A Neurodiversity Screening Profile costs £70.
What is it?
A diagnosis of a neurodivergent difference can only be provided by an appropriately qualified specialist. However, the report from the Neurodiversity Screening Profile will identify traits and characteristics associated with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADHD and/or Autism.
Through a series of questions, developed by experts at Do-It Profiler, you will get a personalised report with recommendations about further resources, information and advice related to your specific strengths and challenges. The report can then be used with your workplace, or education setting, or used to apply for further funding from Access to Work.
Who is it for?
This screening is suitable for anyone who is 16+.
What happens after submitting a request for the Neurodiversity Screening Profile?
You will be sent a link to make a card payment, or if preferred, we will offer you alternative ways to pay (either by invoice, or over the phone). Once payment has been received, we will send login details to a secure online platform.
How long does it take to complete the screening?
The questionnaires take around an hour to complete, but this does depend on how fast you are at answering the questions. You do not have to complete this all in one go. You can take several days, or weeks to finish the modules.
Access is time limited, so once you have completed the screening tool, you should save and download your reports, recommended further information and resources.
What equipment will I need?
For the best results you should access the secure platform through your browser, working with Windows, Apple or Android devices. You might also want speakers to activate the text to speech software. We do not recommend using a mobile phone, as some of the features are not as optimal.
