Screening

Who benefits from a screening test?

If you feel you or a child may be dyslexic, a screening may be right for you. You or a child may have:

  • Poor educational performance and not meeting potential
  • Difficulty dealing with paperwork
  • Literacy problems at work
  • Unexplained reading difficulties in the past
  • Experienced problems and would like to know for personal interest

    Please note that in line with best practice, Indigo does not conduct screening tests on children under the age of 7.


    What will the screening tell me?

  • The probability of whether or not you have dyslexia
  • A basic reading and spelling test
  • Probability of Meares Irlen Syndrome (also known as Visual Stress or Scotopic Sensitivity)

    Please note that a screening does not measure IQ or intellectual ability.


    What will happen on the day?

    You will meet with a qualified advisor who will discuss your current situation and answer any questions you have relating to dyslexia. They will guide you through the testing process, explain the results and talk about any futher action and support.


    What happens after the test?

    Everyone's situation is unique. Your advisor will take this into account when discussing where to go next. Some issues you may wish to discuss:

  • Educational options
  • Specialist tuition
  • Available services
  • ICT solutions
