If you have never been assessed for specific learning differences (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADHD), we would usually suggest that you first complete a free initial online screening using the Do-It Profiler.

On completion of a series of questions and tasks, the Do-It-Profiler gives you a personalised report. Although it does not identify specific learning differences, the tool gives you information and resources, along with guidance to help you decide if you want a formal assessment. The Do-It-Profiler is not an exam - you cannot pass or fail it. 

Requesting access to the Do-It-Profiler

You will need to log-in to Studentlife.  The Do-It Profiler is in Resources which you can search by using keywords, e.g. screening.  To be taken to the Do-IT Profiler resource, click this link.

Guidance documents:

• Do-It Profiler Results Guidance document to help you understand your results and consider next steps. Available here to download.
• A step by step guide to arranging a formal diagnostic assessment (including examples of assessment providers and how to apply for means-tested help with assessment costs too, where applicable). Available here to download.

If you need further advice:

Term-time: We offer weekly workshops to help you understand your Do-IT Profiler results. To book a place on the workshop, please log in to the Student Life portal.  Select 'I think I have a Specific Learning Difference workshop' on the homepage for Wellbeing Events.

If you need to amend or cancel your booking, you can also do this by logging in to the Student Life portal.
