Dyslexia Quest Screening
Description
Nessy believes that all students should be screened for dyslexia by the age of 7 to identify and support all struggling readers in the classroom. This dyslexia test provides a snapshot of learning abilities linked to dyslexia and because it’s games based, students have fun without realizing they are being assessed.

History & Research
Nessy Headquarters is located in the same building as the Bristol Dyslexia Center and specialist school and was founded by a teacher from the center. As a result of our insider knowledge and research, the Dyslexia Quest Screening App released in 2011 was based on the tests of educational psychologists, mirroring the output that they would assess to determine the likelihood of dyslexia.
The efficacy of our app has been researched thoroughly by Barry Carbol, Ph.D. Since the release of the app we have been working to develop it into a more comprehensive dyslexia test that provides a snapshot of learning abilities linked to dyslexia and because it’s games based, students have fun without realizing they are being assessed.
To understand the reports and the help children with dyslexia require further, we recommend partnering your screening tool with both Dyslexia Training and intervention therapy in the form of Nessy Reading & Spelling.
