Dyscalculia screening

A comprehensive evaluation of numeracy skills designed to screen for dyscalculia and inform targeted support strategies that enhance learning.

This dyscalculia screener is administered face-to-face over approximately 90 minutes and evaluates numeracy skills using a range of standardised assessments.

Dyscalculia Screening Process

Step 1: Before the screening

• A background questionnaire will be completed to gather developmental and educational history, with a focus on any difficulties related to mathematics.

Step 2: In-person dyscalculia screener (90 mins)

The screening assesses the following areas:

• Non-verbal reasoning: Ability to identify patterns, understand spatial relationships, and solve problems.

• Auditory verbal memory: Capacity to recall spoken numerical information, such as number sequences or arithmetic facts.

• Working memory: Holding and manipulating numerical data mentally, such as steps in a calculation.

• Mathematical skills: Foundational abilities including number sense, arithmetic fluency, and basic problem-solving.

Step 3: After the Screening

• A screening report will be received.

• The short report draws on background information and task performance to provide a clear overview of the individual’s mathematical strengths and areas for development.

• Each domain is summarised, with practical recommendations for support at home and school.

Please note: this is a screening tool, not a diagnostic assessment. It does not confirm dyscalculia but highlights potential difficulties and suggests appropriate next steps. Where significant challenges are identified, a full specialist assessment may be recommended.

Full payment is required at the time of booking.
