Are you wondering
"Why is my child struggling with reading and spelling?"
"Does my child have dyslexia?"
If those questions are on your mind, we know you’ll be feeling worried and anxious.
You might also be feeling:
- Lost and unsure about who to trust and where to get the right kind of help for your child.
- Maybe you’ve been battling to get someone to listen and take action.
- Perhaps your child has had a reading tutor or other support in the past, but it’s made little or no difference.
If this resonates, you’re in the right place.
Understanding the what and the why behind your child’s literacy difficulty is an important first step.
We’re here to help you determine whether your child has dyslexia (or another literacy difficulty) and to ensure that you and your child receives the right support.
Assessment
We offer a full cognitive and educational assessment which will provide you with a greater level of understanding about the difficulties your child is experiencing. This assessment informs you of the next teaching steps and provides clarity of the ‘why’ behind the struggle.
