Dyslexia University Assessment
Being dyslexic shouldn’t stop you from doing what you want to do. If you’re dyslexic and want to pursue the opportunity to study at university, then you can!
Although many people are under the influence that dyslexia detracts from your intelligence or ability, it doesn’t, and you can go far on your educational journey. Being dyslexic won’t stop you from being accepted into a university. You can do it with support.
This is the reason we specialise in completing university assessments for dyslexia. Our University Assessment allows students to apply for the Disability Students Allowance (DSA) prior to attending university.
Dyslexia Assessments for Pupils Starting University
If you’re a parent of a child who is excited to be attending university this year, or you’re someone who has Dyslexia, or you suspect you have dyslexia, then you will benefit from an updated Dyslexia assessment.
We would be more than happy to provide you with an assessment to support your case in applying for Disability Students Allowance (DSA) for Dyslexia.
You or your child could be working toward, or even set to attend, one of the local universities in Surrey, Hampshire or West Sussex. However, if you’re dyslexic and you would like the support from the DSA, then you will require an up-to-date university assessment for Dyslexia.
University assessment for any of the local universities
We can help if you wish to complete a Surrey University Dyslexia assessment, Portsmouth University Dyslexia assessment, Winchester University Dyslexia assessment and for any of the other local universities, including Chichester, Southampton and Kingston.
Disabled Students’ Allowances – DSA Dyslexia Assessment
If you have been advised to tick the ‘disability’ box on your UCAS application form or have any other reason to think that you may benefit from support from the DSA please visit:

To be eligible for DSA
If you want to be eligible for Disability Students’ Allowance (DSA), then you will need an up-to-date Dyslexia assessment (completed after you are 16). It’s vital that you find a professional assessor who holds the appropriate qualification that universities accept (APC – Accessing Practising Certificate). Luckily for you, Sarah is appropriately qualified.
A full dyslexia assessment may allow students access to valuable support such as specialist equipment (including a computer and/or extra times in assignments and exams), non-medical helpers and other disability-related costs for studying.
The report is sent to ‘Student Finance England’ who decide whether you are eligible for financial assistance whilst on your Higher Education course. If this is accepted, you will then have an ‘Assessment of Need’, which examines various aspects of support required for you to complete your course.
