Dyslexia Screening
Dyslexia Screening
TAKE OUR DYSLEXIA SCREENING TEST!
Our dyslexia screenings are used to determine students’ risk of literacy delay. Each screening only takes fifteen minutes, and results are available almost immediately. The results are then summarised in a simple print-out that indicates the probability of the child having dyslexia. These results will give parents a better understanding of their child’s strengths and challenges before enrolling them in our specialised programmes.

Preschool Screening
The DAS Preschool Team conducts Early Literacy Screenings throughout the year. The preschool screening aims to identify Kindergarten 1 & 2 preschoolers experiencing challenges with early literacy, such as pre-reading , pre-spelling and early writing skills. Our Preschool Educational Therapist will conduct a quick 15 minutes of early literacy screening with your child. Next, our Educational Therapist will collect additional background information about the child’s literacy and developmental background and share their findings with parents. Finally, they will advise how our early literacy will benefit your child and the literacy components that our therapists will work on once the child is placed into the programme.
Take the Preschool Dyslexia Checklist.
Please note that the screening is not an assessment and will only serve to get more clarity on your child’s strengths and weaknesses in literacy. Our therapist will advise if your child requires additional literacy support.
Primary School Screening
We conduct screenings to determine a child’s probability of having dyslexia. If your child has difficulties in reading/spelling, you may send your child down for our screening. Primary school students take a short computerised test, which is presented in a fun, game format.
Please be informed that the screening tests will only provide a probability/risk of dyslexia. Further investigation via a full psychological assessment will be required before a diagnosis can be made.
Secondary School Screening
Secondary school students will do selected reading and spelling tests. At the end of the screening, you will know how likely your child has dyslexia. Together, we will discuss your child’s needs and recommend if your child should undergo a full psychological assessment.
Screening for secondary students is charged at $87.20 per student.
