Age Range
Children, young people and adults
Dyslexia Scotland is included for Aberdeen because Scottish families often need assessor guidance that fits Scottish education and ASN routes, including signposting to qualified assessors.
For Aberdeen, local context matters: Aberdeen families often need dyslexia and literacy evidence that can fit Scottish ASN planning, SQA and school support discussions, University of Aberdeen or Robert Gordon University support, DSA and workplace adjustments. Families and adults should confirm whether the assessor holds appropriate dyslexia assessment credentials, whether the report follows SASC/APC guidance where relevant, and whether it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
