Hi Jean,

Diagnosis is not everything. We are who we are. It's all a matter of what purpose a diagnosis would fulfil. If you need a 'clinical diagnosis' you will need that clinical psychologist. An educational psychologist can assess you for dyslexia. Use the following website to gain further information.

The Melbourne telephone number for SPELD Victoria is 9489-4344.
[International telephone number +61 3 94894344]

SPELD Victoria is a not-for-profit organisation that has supported children and adults with dyslexia and other learning disabilities for over 40 years. Our core objective is to ensure that people with dyslexia and other learning disabilities receive the understanding, acceptance, equality and support they are entitled, in order to reach their potential.

I have had difficulty over my educational assessment, but my assessment was not straightforward dyslexia. Email me, if you would like to discuss my experience further.

Regards,
John

Jean,
I forgot to mention that clinical psychology charges can be expensive. University teaching departments for clinical psychology may provide assessments through their educational psychology training programs. These programs would operate at a reduced cost while being supervised by highly qualified teaching staff.

I wish you all the best with your enquiries,
John
