dyslexia assessment, other assessments - based in somerset

This package includes a full, official dyslexia assessment that meets the  standards required by governing bodies. For older students it can be used for DSA should they go to higher education. If your child is under 7, please see the Specialist Assessment section below.

Once this assessment is completed, it should never need to be repeated as it meets the current regulations for  the official diagnosis of dyslexia. This is evidenced by my qualifications and professional memberships.

For more information, please see the FAQs section.

If a formal diagnosis is not required, your child is below 7, or if the difficulties are not dyslexic in nature, a specialist assessment can be tailored to help you learn more about your child's profile of strengths and weaknesses. Areas that can be covered include either literacy, numeracy, memory, language, visual perception or motor skills. The assessment will involve gathering background information, spending up to 1 hour with your child  conducting formal assessments and having informal discussions. Following this, I will contact you for a 1 hour problem solving and feedback session. You will then get a written report containing all scores, observations and recommendations for provision. 

If your child is having a dyslexia or specialist assessment but you would also like another area investigated e.g., motor skills, then this can be added on to the price of the assessment and carried out at the same time. Any of the areas for Specialist Assessments are available as an 'add on'.

If you are educating your child at home, but would like oversight from a qualified teacher, then get in touch. You might want support with designing a learning plan, setting goals, monitoring progress or problem solving challenges. Whatever your needs, I can help.

Prices start from £100 for 2 hours but discounts offered for 'bulk buys' e.g., £500 for 6x2hr sessions throughout the year.
