Dyslexia Assessment and Specialist Teaching Services in and around Bucks
Providing Dyslexia Assessments in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire
Specialist Dyslexia Assessment, Teaching and Support Services
I currently provide dyslexia assessments in Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas for learners aged 8 to 18 years of age. These in-depth assessments take between 3 and 4 hours to complete, allowing rest breaks where needed. Assessments may take place in the learner’s home, school or my home. Before the assessment, both a parent and school questionnaire will need to be completed, outlining background and developmental information as well as current strengths and challenges. The assessment includes a range of tests to evaluate current abilities in reading, spelling, writing, handwriting, mathematics (if appropriate) alongside phonological awareness, memory, processing speed and visual and verbal ability.
In-depth Dyslexia Assessments
I provide one-to-one support to learners with dyslexia and literacy difficulties in High Wycombe, Amersham, Marlow and the surrounding areas. This support may take place in the learner’s school, home or my home. My lessons are tailored to learners’ individual strengths, needs and interests to boost enjoyment and motivation. I use an evidence-based cumulative, structured, sequential programme making use of multi-sensory learning to help transfer new information to long-term memory more effectively.
Specialist Teaching for Literacy Difficulties and Dyslexia
I also offer advice to schools in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire seeking guidance on how best to support their students. I offer dyslexia-friendly audits, where I will provide constructive feedback on how to make your school more dyslexia-friendly for all. I will gather information by exploring school policies, carrying out a walkthrough of the school and observing several lessons.
