Superb response, David, thank you.
Your selection of extra questions to ask
according to circumstances (EAL in this case)
just shows that dyslexia assessment by checklist on-line,
or do-it-yourself by post or by unqualified people
are not enuf.
Please will makers or users of QuickScan/StudyScan, Instines
and CoPS/LASS/LADS tell us how their software deals with EAL.
