Age Range
Children aged 7-15 for diagnostic testing stated by provider
Sheffield Dyslexia Centre lists diagnostic assessments for children and literacy learning profiles for reading, writing and spelling strengths and needs.
For Sheffield, local context matters: Sheffield families often need dyslexia and dyscalculia assessment routes that can support school SENCO planning, exam access arrangements, university support and workplace needs across South Yorkshire. Families and adults should confirm whether the assessor holds an Assessment Practising Certificate or appropriate psychologist registration, whether the report follows SASC guidance, and whether it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
