Getting assessed for specific learning difficulty

If you think you have dyslexia, dyspraxia or another specific learning difficulty (SpLD), then follow the steps below. 

Step 1 – QuickScreen 

Email disability@worc.ac.uk and ask for access to the online QuickScreen resource. 

QuickScreen takes about 1 hour and is a series of mini-tests that can identify traits of dyslexia and, to a lesser extent, dyspraxia. 

QuickScreen does not supply a diagnosis of any specific learning difficulty, but we use it investigate if a full diagnostic assessment is called for. 

QuickScreen is available to current students at the University of Worcester, or a prospective student who has accepted a firm offer of a place at the University. 

 

Step 2 – A Disability Adviser Appointment 

After you have completed QuickScreen, book an appointment with a Disability Adviser. During the meeting they will discuss the outcome of the QuickScreen tests and recommend your next steps, which could include recommending a full diagnostic assessment.
