Dyslexia Assessments
A full diagnostic assessment, carried out to SASC standards, ending in a report that schools, colleges and exam boards accept.

The facts
From your first email to the term after the report
Eight stages, and you can stop after any of them. Most families are through the whole thing in five or six weeks.
Your first enquiry
A form, an email, or a phone message — a sentence is plenty. I reply myself; nobody else reads it.
Reply within one working dayA free call
Fifteen minutes on the phone. You tell me what you have noticed, and I tell you honestly whether a full assessment is the right next step.
15 minutes, no chargeBooking and consent
We agree a date. The fee is confirmed in writing before anything is booked, and you sign a short consent form.
Background first
A questionnaire for you and a short one for school. Context matters more than any single score.
The week beforeAssessment day
Around three hours at a table, in activities rather than tests, with breaks and a snack whenever your child needs one. No pass, no fail.
Around 3 hoursScoring and analysis
I score and interpret everything myself, alongside what you and school told me. Nothing is decided on one number.
We talk before you read
I ring you and walk through what I found, in plain English, so the report holds no surprises.
Within a few daysThe report, and what next
A full SASC-standard report you can take to school, with recommendations for the classroom and for exam access arrangements. Then we decide together what — if anything — comes next: a meeting with the SENCO, tuition, or simply a review next term.
