and weaknesses including Dyslexia.
This software is used by student support units in schools, colleges and universities across the UK to take a diagnostic look at study strengths and weaknesses including dyslexia.
QuickScan is also being trialled in the prison service as a screener for dyslexia.
The StudyScan Suite was developed, initially, for Higher Education as a result of research carried out in an HEFCE project
in the early 1990's. It is now used right down to sixth-form level in schools. The QuickScan Screener has even been used
successfully with younger agegroups.

analysis of students' study strengths and weaknesses including diagnostic assessment for dyslexia.
StatScan - a utility to display results, allow for tutor input and produce reports.
