We produce high quality reports written in accordance with the Specific Learning Disability Working Group 2005/DfES Guidelines for the Assessment of specific learning disabilities in higher education as recommended by SpLD Assessments Standards Committee (SASC).

Dyspraxia is sometimes called Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) we typically use the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration as one of the tests to diagnose dyspraxia. The symptoms vary across individuals however, there is normally difficulty with coordination and fine motor movements. Some people find typing, ball games, tying shoelaces, riding a bicycle challenging. Dyspraxia sometimes occurs with other specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia.


Autism Assessments

Autism experts we carry out autism diagnosis and support for adults and children suffering from autism including high functioning autism (Aspergers Syndrome) at our Autism Assessment Centre. We set up personalised programmes so that sufferers can participate fully in education and employment. Assessment and diagnosis of autism is undertaken by a chartered psychologist using the gold standard assessment instruments such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2), the Diagnostic Interview for Social Communication (DISCO) and Autism Diagnostic Interview (ADI-R) this is supplemented by additional tests of autism spectrum disorders and intelligence. Recommendations for reasonable adjustments at work or placement at a particular educational establishment are then made with the assistance of tests such as the Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System (ABAS-3). In criminal proceedings our assessments consider the impact of autism on offending, sentencing and fitness to plead. More information on diagnosing autism can be found here.
