L.Y.C.A.L.I Discovery for ages 13–17

Young person’s needs-led check-in

Answer 15 short questions about school or college, home, friendships and everyday life to identify which areas may currently benefit from greater understanding or support.

This check-in is for young people aged 13–17. You can complete it by yourself or with a parent, carer or another trusted adult. Your answers are scored only on this page and are not submitted to Lycali or stored by the check-in.

Think about approximately the last three months.

0 - Not currently a difficulty
1 - Sometimes difficult
2 - Often difficult
3 - Significant everyday impact

Would you like a fuller understanding of your needs?

Lycali offers a full Young Person Discovery Needs Profile analysis and consultation for £199. This explores the context behind your responses, your strengths, what is making everyday life more difficult and the support or adjustments that may help at home, in education and in other settings.

A parent or carer will normally be involved in arranging the consultation, but your views, preferences and goals remain central. Lycali will explain consent and involvement based on your age and circumstances.

If you or an adult supporting you contacts us, please take a screenshot of this outcome and share it with the Lycali team. Your answers are not stored or sent to us automatically, so the screenshot will help us understand the result you received.

Important: the L.Y.C.A.L.I Discovery Check-In for ages 12–17 is an informal needs-identification tool. It is not a diagnostic assessment or validated diagnostic screener, and it cannot diagnose or rule out autism, ADHD, dyslexia or any other condition. If anything in the questions or your outcome worries you, talk to a parent, carer, teacher or another adult you trust. This page is not monitored for urgent concerns. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999 or attend A&E. For urgent mental health help when there is no immediate danger, use NHS 111 and select the mental health option.
