My Personal Profiler – Dyslexia is a structured assessment tool designed to provide a clear, meaningful picture of how an individual may experience reading, writing, language, memory, organisation and learning. This screener is available for children and adults from age 7 upwards.
Unlike traditional assessments that can feel overly clinical or reduce outcomes to a simple “you are / are not dyslexic” conclusion, this profiler explores how and why someone may experience certain difficulties — and what this means in everyday life.
A comprehensive view of learning
The profiler explores twelve key areas commonly considered in dyslexia assessment:
- Reading and text processing
- Vocabulary and language
- Phonological awareness
- Rapid naming and retrieval
- Writing and spelling
- Working memory
- Visual processing
- Motor skills
- Organisation and executive function
- Mathematical processing
- Creativity and cognitive strengths
- Developmental and learning history
More than a score
Rather than focusing on a single outcome, the profiler builds a layered profile across different cognitive and learning domains.
It helps identify patterns such as:
- Slower or effortful reading fluency
- Difficulties with spelling or written expression
- Challenges with memory, sequencing or organisation
- Differences in processing speed or retrieval
- Alongside areas of strength such as creativity, big-picture thinking and problem-solving
Clear, practical insight
Each section is written in accessible language and includes:
- Plain-English explanations of what each area means
- How it may present in everyday learning, education or work
- Strength-based interpretations of differences
- Practical, easy-to-use strategies to support each area
The aim is to move beyond labels and towards understanding — helping individuals, families and professionals make sense of experiences that may previously have felt confusing or misunderstood.
Supporting understanding and next steps
Following completion, the profiler provides a detailed interpretive report that brings together all twelve areas into a coherent overview.
This can support:
- Self-understanding and reflection
- Conversations with schools, employers or professionals
- Consideration of whether formal diagnostic assessment is appropriate
- Targeted strategies to reduce barriers and build on strengths
Why it matters
Dyslexia is not defined by a single difficulty, but by a pattern of differences in how information is processed, remembered and expressed.
When these patterns are understood, individuals can be supported more effectively — not by focusing only on challenges, but by recognising the full cognitive profile, including strengths such as creativity, reasoning and problem-solving.
My Personal Profiler – Dyslexia is designed to support that understanding, offering clarity, context and practical next steps in a way that is accessible, human and meaningful.
