I offer a range of specialist dyslexia and literacy support services, including:

• Dyslexia assessments

• Access arrangements assessments and support

• Specialist teaching and tutoring

• Support and advice for parents

• Staff training and professional support for schools

• Guidance around identifying and supporting learners with literacy difficulties and dyslexia

If you are unsure which service would be most suitable, please get in touch and I will be happy to discuss your needs.

A dyslexia assessment looks at a range of areas related to learning, including reading, spelling, writing and underlying cognitive and processing skills.

The assessment is designed to build a detailed picture of an individual's strengths and areas of difficulty. Following the assessment, a comprehensive written report is provided, outlining the findings and offering personalised recommendations to support future learning and development.

Where the assessment findings indicate that the individual meets the relevant criteria, a diagnosis of dyslexia can be given. The report can also help inform appropriate support, interventions and recommendations for school, home, further education or the workplace.

The length of an assessment can vary depending on the individual's age, needs and the type of assessment being completed, but usually take around 3 hours.

I will explain what is involved before the assessment takes place and ensure that there is plenty of opportunity for breaks where needed.

I am based in Knowsley, Merseyside, and work with individuals, families, schools and organisations across Merseyside and the surrounding areas.

Depending on the service required, support can take place in schools, at home, at a suitable agreed location or online. Please get in touch to discuss your location and requirements.
