Please note: due to high demand for dyslexia assessments I am not currently taking any new bookings for dyslexia assessments until I catch up with the backlog. As I do not keep a waiting list please look back in a few weeks, when I will be booking assessments again.
You can find a list of dyslexia assessors on the Patoss website, click here. Search by postcode to find your nearest assessor and tick the APC box for a fully qualified assessor.
Welcome! I offer efficient and friendly dyslexia assessments and advice conveniently based in Taunton, Somerset. I provide a professional service to young people in primary and secondary school, students and adults.
At the end of the assessment I will give feedback on my conclusions and then write up a jargon-free report, usually available within one week, which I am happy to discuss with you.
If you live to the east of Taunton or in Dorset and feel that Barton-on-Sea in Hampshire might be within reach, then my daughter-in-law Jenny Bowyer would be pleased to assess you or your child for dyslexia and dyspraxia as she is a fully qualified assessor. Please see her website.
