[senco-forum] Adult assessment

I came across this site when searching for on line dyslexia test for adults 
- haven't used it and it's not free (about £30) I think but seems to give 
very full feedback.

Probably a bit late to get replies in time but worth a go!!
I have to do a diagnostic assessment on Sunday for a 23 year old Adult.  He 
has difficulties with multi syllabic words and middle range spellings at the 
level of vowel digraphs.
I will do Naglieri (non verbal) and Macmillan (reading) which both have a 
ceiling of 17+ years.  WRAT3 for decoding and spelling which have ceiling of 
75 years.  Speed of writing Allcock.  I will also do digit span memory test. 
   I will probably do Wordchains for speed of reading (can't remember 
ceiling).  PhAB for speed of processing is far too low a ceiling.  Might go 
for an Edinburgh 4 with extra time.

Problem is he's 23 and all my tests are for students much younger.

I can see from the off he has difficulties with vowel digraphs and multi 
syllabic words for reading but generally literacy is not too bad at all; he 
just needs time to edit what he has written.   He is not illiterate.  He is 
making an application to the police force and the application is tough for 
dyslexics.  He does not yet, have a diagnostic assessment and the 
application has to be in by the 14th.  I at least want to gain him extra 
time for the next round of assessments and the concession of using an ACE 
dictionary.

Any ideas anybody!!??  It is time which is of the essence here.
