The Dyslexia Screening & Diagnosis resource is a comprehensive educational and professional guide designed to support the understanding, identification, and differentiation of dyslexia within educational settings. This resource addresses one of the most critical challenges in the field—the ambiguity surrounding the definition and identification of dyslexia—by presenting clear explanations of key concepts, definitions, and diagnostic considerations. It provides an in-depth exploration of:

• The nature and characteristics of dyslexia
• Common signs and manifestations across age groups
• The distinction between screening and formal diagnosis
• Key factors influencing identification and misdiagnosis

The material also highlights the importance of using systematic and evidence-informed approaches when identifying students with reading difficulties, emphasizing that accurate diagnosis depends on the tools, criteria, and frameworks applied. Importantly, the resource equips educators and professionals with practical insights and structured approaches to better understand dyslexic learners, interpret their difficulties, and support appropriate referral for formal assessment and intervention. This makes it highly suitable for training programmes, teacher development, and professional learning in assessment and learning difficulties.
