According to the guidelines set out by the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC), the testing & assessment of Specific Learning Differences (dyslexia) analyses your learning style and attainment, identifying strengths and areas of difficulty to highlight any specific learning barriers. It starts with evaluating general cognitive abilities, and underlying learning processes like working memory, processing speed, and phonological processing. Writing skills are assessed for both mechanical and structural aspects. The tests & assessment also covers reading (whole word reading, pseudoword reading, prose reading, comprehension, and decoding) and spelling (analytic and phonological sub-tests). Mathematical ability is evaluated through underlying and surface skills.
