Description
Edinburgh Practice is included for Edinburgh where literacy concerns need broader psychological or neurodevelopmental assessment context.
For Edinburgh, local context matters: Edinburgh families often need dyslexia reports that work for Scottish schools, university disability support, DSA, exam arrangements and workplace adjustment routes. It's worth checking the things that make a dyslexia report count: that the assessor holds the right assessment credentials, that the report follows the relevant UK or Scottish guidance, and that it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
