Procedure:
We do these for children and adults from our base in Dunstable, in a Covid secure environment. These are arranged individually, by phone or after email contact, full details are given in a phone interview before the assessment. There is usually a waiting list.
The Test:
The assessment we use is not a computerised on-line test; it is published by the Psychological Corporation/Pearson Assessment and is administered 1:1 by a post-graduate trained specialist assessor. It comprises 10 mini-assessments, 3 of literacy skills and 7 of other cognitive skills; each is quite short, lasting no more than 2 minutes.
Costs:
The cost is £30 for children (under 16½ years old) or £35 for adults (over this age). Note that we do not assess children younger than 7½ years old.
We ask for full payment before the assessment date by direct bank transfer, which will be refunded if you have to cancel, providing you give us at least 7 days notice; otherwise it is not refundable.
