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.
