Age Range
Children, young people and adults
Dyslexia Scotland is included for Dundee because families often need Scotland-specific guidance on qualified assessors, ASN language and what a dyslexia assessment can be used for.
For Dundee, local context matters: Dundee families may need Scottish ASN-aware dyslexia assessment routes because independent SpLD assessment capacity in Tayside is thinner than in larger English cities. 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.
