If weÌýrecommended a full diagnostic assessment as an outcome of your completed screening,Ìýyou will be given information on how to find a private assessor.Ìý

If you previously accessed exam arrangements during school/college, instead of completing our screening, please and upload a copy of your JCQ8 form so that we can review the information on the form.Ìý
