Giselle Hope - SpLDs Assessments

I provide specialist diagnostic assessments for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) and co-occurring neurodivergent conditions for adults and post-16 learners. My service is designed to offer a clear, supportive, and evidence-based pathway to understanding individual learning profiles and securing appropriate support.

Assessments cover dyslexia, dyspraxia/DCD, dyscalculia, and screening for ADHD and autism where appropriate. All assessments are carried out by me — a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) and HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist with over 25 years’ experience in neurodiversity assessment and support.

Reports meet SASC guidelines and are suitable for use in DSA (Disabled Students’ Allowance) applications, workplace adjustments, and academic or professional accommodations. Each assessment includes a thorough background review, standardised psychometric testing, a diagnostic formulation, and tailored recommendations focusing on both strengths and needs.

I offer both remote and in-person assessments across the UK, with a flexible and person-centred approach that recognises the impact of co-occurring conditions and lived experience. My goal is to ensure that each individual leaves the assessment process with a clearer understanding of their profile, increased confidence in their abilities, and practical strategies to support learning, study, and work.

I also provide guidance for education providers and employers, helping them implement effective, inclusive support in line with legal obligations and best practice in accessibility.
