Description
Aberdeen Dyslexia Learning Centre is based at Rosemount Place and offers a comprehensive literacy and dyslexia needs assessment, weekly tuition and study skills support. The provider states that the needs assessment does not provide a clinical diagnosis.
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.
