SASC Downloads

The additional guidance comments for the SASC 2025 Report Format are collected together here as a separate document to provide additional accessibility. The additional guidance reference numbering (AG#) follows the 2025 report format document.

The screening protocol provides two short questionnaires, which assessors should use to gather information on an individual’s visual history and any symptoms and signs of visual difficulty, and a template letter for referral to an optometrist if required on the basis of the questionnaire responses.

This is the required report format for a diagnostic assessment for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs).

This report format was updated by the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) in May 2025. It can be used from the date of publication and its use will be mandatory from January 1st 2027.

Additional guidance and explanatory detail is provided throughout in numbered comment boxes, allowing assessors immediate access to further information and clarification.

Two other document downloads are also available: the report format minus the guidance in comments, and the additional guidance comments collected together as a separate document.
