Visual Stress

If an eyetest for "Visual Stress" is recommended please contact Disability Advice for more information on disabilityadvice@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

Dyslexia / Dyspraxia

If QuickScan has identified dyslexia or dyspraxia indicators we can help you arrange a diagnostic assessment with an Educational Psychologist.

The University will cover the cost of the assessment if you are eligible for the funding. You will be asked to pay a refundable £50 deposit to arrange the assessment.

Please note: Funding for a diagnostic assessment is only available to students who are studying at a course intensity of at least 25% of the full time equivalent course. Degree apprentices, international students, and students on short CPD courses should contact Disability Advice for an alternative assessment. If you have any questions regarding eligibility, please contact Disability Advice.

The process of arranging a diagnostic assessment and any support that you might need while studying can take up to 12 weeks so please apply early.

To apply for funding, arrange a diagnostic assessment, or discuss reasonable adjustments

Please note: QuickScan does not give a diagnosis of a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD): it only indicates if a further diagnostic assessment is recommended.  Reasonable adjustments cannot be provided based on the results of QuickScan, nor can you use a QuickScan report as evidence that you have a disability or Specific Learning Difficulty.
