• We will give you or send you a form to fill out that includes a handwriting exercise.
• Read the instructions and the accompanying leaflet carefully before you complete the form.
• You will be offered an appointment with an advisor once you have completed the form and returned it.
• During the appointment, your form will be reviewed and you and the advisor will discuss your challenges further.
• You may be asked to complete additional screening tasks.
• If the advisor determines that there are strong indicators of dyslexia, you will be offered a full Diagnostic Assessment.
• A Diagnostic Assessment Report, with a diagnosis of dyslexia, provides the evidence for your application for Disabled Students' Allowance
• Whatever the outcome of the screening process, your advisor will discuss your study support options with you.
