I would agree with what Bryan says but I think the university are
looking for
guidance rather than a diagnosis. It seems that the diagnosis has been
provided but I suspect that all the university / assessment centre get
is a one-line
diagnosis.

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a psychologist in the Worcester area to assess
a student with semantic pragmatic difficulties and their impact on
studying Fine Art? >>
