Schools have long been facing the challenges of identifying and adequately meeting the needs of children who have demonstrated evidence of a specific learning difficulty.
For 30 years GL Assessment has been responding to changing policy in children's education, mental health and wellbeing - and we continue to do so.
This page lists some of our assessments (see below), which support education and health professionals in the early detection of problems and creation of intervention strategies.
"The importance of early identification, assessment and provision for any child who may have special educational needs cannot be over-emphasised. The earlier action is taken, the more responsive the child is likely to be, and the more readily can intervention be made without undue disruption to the organisation of the school."
