London is not one dyslexia assessment market. Families compare assessors across 32 boroughs plus the City of London, different school admissions patterns, selective and independent schools, multilingual contexts, post-16 settings, university disability teams and workplace adjustment routes. A useful report needs to match the learner's age, borough, setting and reason for assessment.
A useful dyslexia assessment should explain reading, spelling, writing, phonological processing, working memory, processing speed and the wider learning profile, then turn the findings into practical recommendations.
For London, check how the report will work alongside London borough SEND Local Offers, SENCO routes, exam-access evidence, DSA, university and workplace adjustment routes. If the assessment is for a specific purpose, ask the receiving school, university, employer or exam centre what evidence they need before you pay.
A dyslexia assessment may help if...
- ✓ Reading, spelling or writing progress is not matching wider ability
- ✓ School needs clearer evidence for SENCO or SEND support
- ✓ A college, university, DSA or workplace report is needed
- ✓ Exam access arrangements or reasonable adjustments are being discussed
- ✓ Dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD or wider SpLD indicators overlap
