If you think you might have dyslexia, dyspraxia or struggle with attention and focus, you may want to find out more about how your learning differences are affecting you and the strategies that can be put in place to support you through to success.
An important source of support is Disabled Students Allowance (DSA). A formal diagnostic decision will allow you to apply for DSA.
It might be that your dyslexia or dyspraxia was not diagnosed at school because you were able 'to get by' with lots of hard work. Difficulties with focus and attention affecting your studies may have been put down to 'bad behaviour'. Some teachers may have even wondered whether you had ADHD. As the content of your courses becomes more challenging your learning differences become more obvious.
It is important to get an assessment so that you can obtain the correct support. If you would like to arrange an apointment for your assessment then you can get in touch via by clicking here, or via email or phone.
People with dyslexia often use different ways of thinking to solve problems than their non-dyslexic/dyspraxic peers. This can be confusing and make you feel that you won't be able to manage university study. This is simply not true - many highly successful people have neurological differences that made schoolwork difficult.
This is why it is important to identify and recognise how you think and your strengths, as these will help you to succeed in your academic studies. A good quality diagnostic report will identify your strengths as well as your struggles. For a friendly and professional assessement then get in touch.
