Understanding Dyslexia
Unlocking Potential
Specialist dyslexia assessments and personalised literacy support for children, young people and adults.
At Learn Differently Dyslexia, we believe that understanding how you learn can be life changing.
Dyslexia can affect reading, spelling, writing, memory, organisation and information processing.
A specialist dyslexia assessment can help you understand your individual profile, giving you clarity, confidence and practical strategies to help you thrive.
Exploring Dyslexia
Perhaps reading and writing have always felt harder than they should. Maybe school or work takes considerably more effort, despite your ability.
You may notice:
- Challenges with reading fluency or accuracy.
- Persistent spelling or writing difficulties.
- Trouble remembering instructions or information.
- Difficulty organising tasks or managing time.
- Challenges with concentration or processing information.
- A growing sense of frustration or lack of confidence.
- A noticeable difference between ability and achievement.
- Difficulty with number processing, recalling number facts, and following multi-step calculations.
Looking Beyond
A dyslexia assessment can look at a range of underlying skills, including reading, spelling, written expression and aspects of numeracy. A dyslexia assessment may identify numeracy difficulties, but a specialist assessment may be needed to determine whether dyscalculia is present.
