Welcome! I offer efficient and friendly dyslexia assessments and advice conveniently based in Taunton, Somerset. I provide a professional service to young people aged 8 and over 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.
Tuition – if you would like some specialist tuition for your child up to Year 8, then I can recommend Cath Wright. She is a former Senco, qualified to work with dyslexic learners, but you don’t have to have dyslexia to benefit from her tuition. She works in person and online. For more details, email [email protected].
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.
