Hi, I am a teacher in Scotland and the advice I have been given from our Psychologists is to build a profile of the child which would include evidence from different sources. I am currently working on a procedure for my school and our evidence would include pieces of work, a checklist of signs of dyslexia, observations of staff and assessments. This will lead to identification of appropriate interventions and support and when and if appropriate a more formal diagnosis of dyslexia. We do have a dyslexia screener in school but it is not recommended by our psychologists and does not include a reading assessment. It seems to make sense to build a profile specific to the child as each child has their own particular needs and can be totally different from another child with dyslexia.
