A comprehensive, clinician-designed toolkit to support psychologists in conducting structured, confident, and evidence-informed assessments of Specific Learning Disorders.

The SLD Assessment Resource Kit has been developed to support psychologists in navigating the complexity of assessing Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Rather than a collection of disconnected tools, this resource provides a structured, cohesive framework to guide your assessment process from referral through to interpretation and communication of outcomes
