Informal Screening

If you feel you may have a specific learning difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, or ADHD, we can provide a preliminary screening via email questionnaire. Once this is complete, we will discuss with you the next steps for support which you may require.

The screening questionnaire is free of charge to current and prospective Bangor University students.

If you would like to complete the screening questionnaire, please click on this link: .

Îá°®³Ô¹Ï Staff should enquire about their support needs through Miles Dyslexia Unit on dyslex-admin@bangor.ac.uk

ADHD / Attentional Difficulties

With our assessments at Bangor, we are able to diagnose ADD/ADHD for study purposes. This format is widely recognised in the UK and students are advised that if they would prefer to get a medical diagnosis they can do so via GP referral. Our full assessment covers all specific learning differences including ADHD.

If you are interested in investigating further, please request an informal screening as outlined above.

Autism Assessments

The University does not offer autism screening or assessment - this is only available via the NHS or privately. Click here for more information on Autism Assessments.

Full assessment / Assessment Fee

If you have previously had additional exam arrangements due to Dyslexia / Dyspraxia etc. and you would like a full assessment, the Assessment Centre is able to offer students a diagnostic service to determine if you have a Specific Learning Difference such as Dyslexia or Dyspraxia. The university pays part of the fee, however a student contribution of £100 is also required.

We carry out assessments for students at Îá°®³Ô¹Ï only. For information on services for external students please see:
