This assessment is focussed on ascertaining the presence of learning difficulties. It will also screen for other social and behavioural difficulties which may impact on learning and performance in an individual.
The assessment comprises of psychometric testing and a structured clinical interview with the patient as well as a parent/carer of the patient who can comment on the patient’s childhood development. The interview with the parent/carer can be conducted over the phone or Skype if the parent/carer is unable to attend on the day of the appointment.
The assessment process will involve:
Testing through completion of various simple tasks and/or completion of psychometric questionnaire

If parent/carer present, discussion of childhood development through a structured questionnaire
The patient will be asked to provide the following:

These can be emailed back or photocopies to be returned on the day of the appointment.
A comprehensive report outlining the results of the testing process, diagnosis and how the patient meets/does not meet criteria and treatment recommendations will be provided.
