Based in comfortable and private premises in rural County Derry-Londonderry we offer full diagnostic assessments for:

• Dyslexia (minimum age 8)
• ADHD* (minimum age 18)

Simply specify upon booking which of the above (either dyslexia or ADHD*) you would like the assessment to be for.

A dyslexia assessment costs £550 and an ADHD assessment costs £650. This covers the assessment session itself (around two hours) and the production of a detailed report which you can use, where relevant, for educational purposes, the Disabled Students’ Allowance, or as supporting evidence for the Access to Work (NI) scheme, etc.

*only for adults (minimum age 18). For an adult who feels that they have ADHD, a full diagnostic assessment has to be undertaken (this is in line with SASC regulations). The reason for this is that ADHD will commonly co-exist with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs) and so it may well turn out to be the case that in addition to the identification of characteristic features of of ADHD, an SpLD (e.g. dyslexia) turns out to also be present. Please note that the type of ADHD assessment that Ulster Assessments carries out does not enable access to ADHD medication. Access to ADHD medication can only be gained via a medical diagnosis which you can explore via your own GP - we supply a referral letter which you can use. However, rest assured that the type of ADHD assessment that Ulster Assessments carries out does enable access to government-funded support such as the Disabled Students' Allowance or the Access to Work (NI) scheme as well as reasonable adjustments from your employer or college/university. Specific information on the type of ADHD assessment that Ulster Assessments carries out can be found here. Your diagnostic assessment report will be authored by a fully qualified Specialist Assessor who has completed the required appropriate training on ADHD and who holds a valid Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) and full registration with SASC and the British Psychological Society.
