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.
This service will close on Friday 13 June 2025. To avoid delays, ensure all screening forms are submitted before this date. Unfortunately, any forms received after this deadline will not be processed.
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. After completing this, 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.
