As a dyslexia specialist, I help parents concerned about their child’s learning difficulties throughout Norfolk and Suffolk.  

I have a specialist understanding of Dyslexia from personal and professional experience. I also know how complex the education system can be for parents and how frustrating it can be to get the right help for your child. I help parents and their child get the support they need.

Parents come to me wanting quality support for their child to enable them to be confident and happy at school. Through a Dyslexia Assessment and my detailed report, parents are armed with the evidence they need to be real advocates for their child’s learning. 

For children who struggle to learn Dyslexia is a learning difference affecting a child’s reading, writing, and spelling ability. While it does not reflect a child’s intelligence, dyslexia can present challenges in academic and social settings. However, when identified and given proper support and understanding, children with dyslexia can thrive and succeed.

Dyslexia assessments that last a lifetime

The outcomes of a Dyslexia Assessment will help parents and teachers to understand the child’s learning needs. It provides them with expert knowledge and recommendations on supporting the child and gives them the best chance to succeed in their chosen studies and subsequent careers. 

The earlier the assessment is carried out, the better. The clearly outlined in-depth report lasts a lifetime, and with it, educational support will be provided quicker and more effectively.

A dyslexia assessment can have numerous long-term benefits for parents and their children. By identifying dyslexia early, parents can access additional support for their child, help them develop a positive attitude towards learning, and advocate for their child within the school system. Additionally, children with dyslexia can develop strategies to help them learn more effectively throughout their lives, positively impacting their academic performance and future career prospects
