What is the difference between a BDA workplace needs assessment and an access to work one?

BDA Assessors are dyslexia specialists and we verify their work regularly for quality. Assessors for Access to Work are generalists required to cover all disabilities; very few are dyslexia specialists. The Access to Work recommendations will be good, though much less specific to the individual’s needs, which is a real issue as all dyslexic people have different strengths and weaknesses.
