Dyslexia Screening at TUS Athlone Campus
Dyslexia Screening is available to students registered at the TUS Athlone Campus. Any student who suspects they may have a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) can contact the Disability Support Service to discuss their concerns. If considered appropriate, they may undergo a screening.
What is Dyslexia Screening?
Screening is the first step in exploring whether the difficulties a student is experiencing in their studies may be related to an SpLD such as Dyslexia or if they may be due to other factors.
Important: Screening does not provide a diagnosis of Dyslexia or any other SpLD. A diagnosis can only be made through a full Educational Psychological Assessment, carried out by a qualified Educational Psychologist using standardised test instruments.
What Happens After Screening?
The purpose of screening is to indicate whether a student should consider a full assessment. Following screening, students will receive advice on the next steps.
How to Arrange a Screening
To request an appointment, please contact disability.midlands@tus.ie. Dyslexia Screening is only available to students registered on the TUS Athlone Campus.
