Dyslexia Assessments
A full dyslexia assessment provides a clear understanding of an individual’s unique profile of strengths and difficulties.
For children, this can help guide effective support in school and build confidence in learning. For adults, an assessment can bring clarity to long-standing challenges and help identify appropriate support for work or further study.

All assessments are carried out by a qualified specialist and include a comprehensive written report with clear, tailored recommendations.
