[SENco-forum] sixth form or FE screening tests

Try Googling "Quick Scan" a 10-15 minute screener that defines learning
styles & flags up likely SpLD (on an A4 size report) and recommends a
further 2 hours of screening.  This yields a 5 page report.  West Kent
College, Tonbridge uses it as part of their 26 tutor strong learning support
department.  It picks up around 16 % of students as having difficulties. The
college has a large vocationally based sector as well as GCSE retakes, A
levels, Foundation & full degrees attracting mature as well as more usual
16+ learners.

Subject: [senco-forum] sixth form or FE screening tests

I am wondering what screening tests (preferably computer based) colleges and
sixth forms use to screen for dyslexia and any other learning difficulties.
I know about LADS. I am on the point of suggesting that our sixth form bods
screen everyone who comes in from outside so that we can see what's going on
and I don't get inundated with requests for assessments.
Cheers
Many thanks
