(Option 2: Dyslexia screening first pathway)
Another way is to begin with a screening assessment (£250). The screening explores an individual's learning profile and whether a full diagnostic assessment for dyslexia or other Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) may be appropriate.
If you decide to proceed following the screening, you can upgrade to a full diagnostic assessment (for a further £250), making the total cost £500. If a full diagnostic assessment does not appear necessary or you decide not to continue, there is no obligation to proceed beyond the initial £250 screening.
