Specialist Assessments for Specific Learning Difficulties (including Dyslexia)
For children, young people, and adults
About the Service
If you or your child experience difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, attention, or organisation, a specialist assessment can provide clarity and a clear route forward. My assessments focus on practical outcomes, including access arrangements and appropriate support.
Areas of Investigation include:-
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia and ADHD (for individuals aged 16 and over in the educational context)
