Important to know: The screening process, including application, assessment, and implementation, can take up to five months. Therefore, King’s will not cover the cost of a diagnostic assessment for final-year students in the last five months of their course.
Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs) such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia (DCD), Dyscalculia, and features of ADHD can affect various aspects of learning and academic performance. King’s provides a structured pathway for students to be screened and, if appropriate, referred for a full diagnostic assessment.
If you suspect you may have a SpLD, the first step is to complete the initial screening form available on your student record. To begin the process, please complete the screening via your Student Records.
- Log on Student Records
- Click on submit SpLD screening form
- Complete the form and await the decision outcome
After completing the form, your responses will be reviewed and one of the following will happen:
- You'll be invited to a follow up appointment to explore your learning challenges
or
- You'll be referred directly for a diagnostic assessment
A £50 admin fee is charged to all students.
The full cost of the assessment (around £350) is otherwise covered by the university, unless the conditions outlined below apply.
If you have questions or want to start the process, email the Disability Support & Inclusion team.
