DSA Assessment

I've recently been diagnosed with a Specific Learning Disability.
Anyone had a DSA assessment for this and can tell me how it works? I know I should be able to find out from the uni, but not there at the moment.

Simply, it was the most validating and useful things I ever did. Well worth the time and effort.
I've got my Ed Pysch assessment and that was done thruogh the uni, so things are heading the right direction. I'm going to do the DSA assessment, they think I should have some study skills sessions and apparently the easiest way to arrange those is as part of the DSA assessment (or something along those lines). I was really just interested in how it works, what it's like etc.
I've made it to the age of 21 before anyone has noticed what my problems are, and they show now because of my uni and I my compensating skills just aren't good enough any more.
So if it's a sit down and chat through what I have problems with, it sounds like it would be useful for me to sit down before hand and work out what I have problems with and how I differ to other students. Up until now I've never realised that the way I did things was different, or my problems had been put down to being sloppy/lazy.
