Expert Dyslexia Assessments for Children & Young People
In-person diagnostic assessments across the North East
Why choose a dyslexia assessment?
A formal diagnostic assessment gives you answers — and the evidence to act on them.
Get a clear diagnosis
Understand exactly what is affecting your child's learning — not guesswork, but a detailed, evidence-based profile.
Unlock school support
A recognised report gives schools the evidence they need to put the right provisions and adjustments in place.
Access exam concessions
A SASC-aligned assessment is accepted by exam boards to apply for extra time and other access arrangements.
Rebuild confidence
Children who understand how they learn stop blaming themselves. A diagnosis is the first step to a different story.
