About this video and your next step
An assessment is a chance to explore the learning difficulties and questions that matter to you. The appropriate route depends on your age, experiences and what you need to understand.
DTC provides specialist learning assessments. Screening explores possible indicators and does not provide a diagnosis. Clinical ADHD and autism assessments use a separate private partner pathway.
Before booking, talk through the purpose of the assessment and any evidence required by your school, university, employer or insurer.

So why have an assessment?
An assessment should do more than provide a diagnosis.
It should help someone understand why they may have struggled and recognise the strengths they may have never fully appreciated.
The right assessment can replace confusion with clarity and help, and help individuals get the support and reasonable adjustments they need to thrive.
Through cognitive profiling, practical recommendations and tailored aftercare, we turn understanding into meaningful action.
The result?
Well, it can be greater confidence, improved wellbeing and stronger performance at school, university or work.
Helping every individual understand themselves, thrive and unlock their true potential.
