Whether you are a student or the parent of a child at school, you may need a certificate or a report to qualify for adjustments. Here is what we can offer you.
Needing more time
A child or adult with a language disorder, dyslexia in particular, may need more time to decode, analyse and understand what is being asked of them in a written test.
Schools and universities usually offer adjustments. This means extra time in exams and, for children, texts printed in a larger size or in a different font that makes reading easier.
It is not always the case, but most of the time you need to provide evidence of the dyslexia to get these adjustments. The speech therapist then has to write a report. But, and this is no doubt why you are reading this article, the waiting times for an appointment are very long. What is more, these language professionals are not always willing to see a child just to write this report. And sometimes they simply do not see adults.
The listening assessment (audio-psycho-phonological assessment) with a written report
We can carry out an APP assessment with a report that you can then hand in to the school or university. However, although we are professionals who treat language disorders, we are not accredited in the way speech therapists are.
The school or university is therefore free to accept or refuse our report. Most of the time, they accept it. But it is up to you to ask your school or university whether they accept a report written by an audio-psycho-phonologist.
