A dyslexia assessment is a detailed evaluation that helps identify whether someone has dyslexia or another specific learning difficulty. It involves standardised tests that look at areas like reading, writing, memory, and phonological processing. You’ll receive a clear report and practical recommendations to support learning at school, home, or work.

You’ll receive a detailed written report after 14 days, along with clear, personalised advice on next steps. This may include support strategies, school recommendations, referrals, or tuition options if needed.

An Assessment Practising Certificate, or APC, is a professional qualification that shows a specialist teacher is trained and approved to carry out diagnostic assessments for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. It means I’ve completed a recognised course (approved by SASC or AMBDA) and met the high standards required to assess, diagnose, and write reports that are accepted by schools, exam boards, and universities—including for things like Exam Access Arrangements or DSA (Disabled Students’ Allowance).

In short, it’s your reassurance that you’re working with someone qualified, experienced, and up to date with current guidance.
