On the 3rd December 2024, I had a two-hour-long Specific Learning Difficulties online assessment, so I could get a diagnosis of dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia. I was assessed for all of them because I went through my university to get a dyslexia diagnosis and instead I had a Specific Learning Difficulties assessment that allowed me to be assessed for all of them. After the assessment (which was actually funny in its own right because I was able to be diagnosed quicker than she expected), I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia. We’ll cover these two conditions in the next two podcast episodes. Yet as an aspiring clinical psychologist, I found the assessment process fascinating and I really enjoyed how she adapted her process, her thoughts and what her approach as she got more information and test results so she could make a diagnosis. I learnt a lot during the assessment. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what happens during a Specific Learning Difficulties assessment, how I got the assessment in the first place and what I learnt as an aspiring clinical psychologist. If you enjoy learning about mental health conditions, psychological assessments and applied clinical psychology then this will be a great episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how to foster curiosity as a child, and the muddiness of microdosing research. LISTEN NOW!
