Specific learning differences (SpLD), e.g. dyslexia, dyspraxia

If you have a SpLD, you must provide a full diagnostic assessment report that contains all relevant tests and a clear diagnosis.

Please note:

We are unable to accept JCQ ‘Form 8’, screening tests or access arrangements from your school or college. These are not full diagnostic assessments for higher education purposes.

If you do not have a full diagnostic assessment report

If you want to be assessed for a SpLD we would advise you to contact an appropriately qualified assessor. The University cannot recommend an assessor, but we are able to provide you with information about organisations/individuals that meet the University of Liverpool’s supporting evidence requirements.
