Assessments are available for any adult or child regardless of age, skill level or reason.
In some cases, dyslexia is not diagnosed until adulthood. However, different issues arise in adults and this is when an assessment may prove beneficial.
If you are at all worried about the progress your child is making at school, your first port of call should always be the class teacher or school SENCO. They will be able to advise you as to whether or not an assessment is needed.
