QuickScan

QuickScan is a computerised screening programme intended to reveal whether you might show signs of a specific learning difficulty.

It also indicates your preferred learning style, which can help you to study more effectively.

Please note: QuickScan is a not a diagnostic tool. This means its results cannot be used as evidence of a disability. However, you may find it a useful first step in deciding whether to pursue a formal diagnosis.


How QuickScan works

QuickScan asks a series of questions about what you would do in certain situations or how you feel about particular activities. It is not timed so you can take it at your own pace.

At the end you will receive a computer generated report which will indicate your learning style and whether you show any signs of a Specific Learning Difficulty.


How to access QuickScan

  • Enter a memorable code and keep a record of it. You will need this to log back into QuickScan once you have finished the screening programme.
  • Make a note of the code on the report you receive at the end of the programme (starting LEED). This will allow you to retrieve your report later. 
  • Once completed, you will able to view and print your QuickScan report.  

Press ‘Print QuickScan Report’ at the top left of the first report page if you wish to have a paper copy of your report.


I have my results, what now?
