Description
Dyslexia Help UK has a Newcastle dyslexia assessment page for parents, Newcastle University or Northumbria students and adults.
For Newcastle, local context matters: Newcastle families often need dyslexia reports that work for North East schools, Newcastle and Northumbria university support, DSA, workplace adjustments and wider SpLD questions such as dyscalculia or ADHD overlap. 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.
