Assessments

Specific learning difficulties

Assessment of specific learning difficulties (SLD) for University purposes is to be carried out by a registered psychologist or a registered assessor with SPELD.
Students are to provide an assessment of their SLD diagnosis and learning needs to the Equity & Disability Service (EDS). If you do not have an assessment then you can contact an assessment provider of your choice and arrange for an assessment to be carried out.
