Evidence support
If you think you may have a specific learning difficulty, you can use our online screener QuickScreen, and we will then invite you to discuss the results with us.
To be assessed for ADHD or autism, you will need to go through your GP.
You may be able to receive a Working Diagnosis if you are on the waiting list for a diagnosis. We can accept this as evidence for a Learner Adjustment Plan (LAP). Please ask your doctor or consultant to complete a Working Diagnosis Form.
