Testimonials

As a parent, arranging a dyslexia assessment for my daughter turned out to be one of the most helpful decisions we could have made. The assessment gave us a much clearer understanding of the processing difficulties that sit behind her struggles with spelling and written work. It was incredibly reassuring to finally understand why she was finding certain aspects of learning so challenging.

What we found especially valuable was how practical the report was. It didn’t just identify the difficulties — it also provided clear targets and specific accommodations that we can suggest to her secondary school and highlighted onward referrals.  This has given us confidence going into the next stage of her education, knowing that there are strategies in place that can genuinely support her learning.

The recommendations for a more tailored approach to teaching and support have been really helpful, and we now feel much better equipped to advocate for what she needs in school. Most importantly, the assessment has helped us see her strengths as well as her challenges, and given us a positive way forward.

I would absolutely recommend this service to other parents who are looking for clarity and practical guidance to support their child.

As parents, we felt that our daughter needed more support in school, but we struggled to get others to fully understand the extent of her difficulties. The dyslexia assessment made a huge difference for us. The report clearly explained her learning profile and the underlying processing difficulties that affect her reading, writing and overall access to learning.

One of the most valuable aspects was that the report provided detailed evidence and professional recommendations, which we were able to include as part of the evidence for an EHCP needs assessment. Having this clear, independent assessment helped the school and the local authority better understand her needs and the type of support that would help her succeed.

The recommendations were practical and specific, outlining the accommodations and teaching approaches that would make learning more accessible for her. It gave us the language and evidence we needed to advocate for the right level of support.

The assessment not only helped move the EHCP process forward, but also gave us a much better understanding of how she learns and what will help her thrive. We’re very grateful for the clarity and guidance it provided.
