What is the difference between a dyslexia screening and a full diagnostic assessment?

A screening is a quick, affordable way to see if your child may have dyslexia. A full diagnostic assessment gives a formal identification and a detailed report with recommendations for school and home.

At what age can my child be assessed for dyslexia?

Children can usually be screened from around age 6. A full diagnostic assessment is most reliable from age 8 upwards.

Do you provide assessments in English or Spanish?

I specialise in English-speaking students in Mallorca, particularly those attending international schools.

What happens in a dyslexia assessment?

Your child will take a series of structured tests in reading, writing, spelling, and memory. The process is supportive and child-friendly. You’ll then receive a full report with clear recommendations.

Can you help with exam access arrangements (extra time)?

Yes, I provide formal assessments that support schools in requesting exam access arrangements such as 25% extra time.

Do you work directly with schools?

Yes. I am happy to meet with SENCOs and teachers to discuss how best to support each student.

Where are you based?

I am based in Calvià, Mallorca, and work with families and schools across the island.

How do I book a screening or assessment?

You can contact me directly by email or phone. I’ll be happy to explain the process and arrange a suitable time.
