Testimonials

I am experienced in carrying out dyslexia assessments for children and adults - both in-person and remotely. Below are some quotes from clients I've had the pleasure to work with:

"Thank you for the assessment it was well done, and I enjoyed every minute of it 😁!"

"I would like to express my gratitude for your help. I am very satisfied with what has been written, and I genuinely appreciate your approach."

"Firstly thank you for your time yesterday for being both so professional and also so friendly and engaging.... Rather than this experience being stressful, (which I anticipated), it has given us clarity, information, strategies and a way forward to enable our son to fulfil and exceed his potential."

"Many thanks for sending the comprehensive report over, I have just gone through it with my partner and it reads very well and is representative of our conversation. I would like to thank you for your time, due diligence and making me feel comfortable and safe to share personal insights from my current day to day and childhood."

"I really appreciate the time you spent with me going through the assessments and explaining everything so clearly. You were very patient and helpful which made me deal with the situation and outcome a lot easier. "

"Thank you so much for providing me with such an extensive detailed report, things I was just saying in casual conversation I realised you noted down, it’s nice how attentive you were. I will send my report to my workplace and my pharmacy council. Once again, thank you so much for the extremely extensive report, I really appreciate it and you!"

"The report is extremely thorough and clear to understand, it has been instrumental in obtaining a comprehensive understanding of XXX’s needs and how best to support him. The report has been shared with the school and is being used for the EHCP needs assessment request. This will help ensure XXX is best supported to achieve his full learning potential."

"I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to others. Thank you for making the start of XXX’s dyslexia journey so positive."

"Kate assessed my 7 year old son, who is also Autistic and has ADHD. Meeting new people can be challenging for him but Kate soon put him at ease with her relaxed, reassuring and patient approach. Kate ensured XXX had plenty of movement breaks and made the activities fun and engaging for him."

“Thank you so much for your very detailed report, I'm really happy and feel very confident that your recommendations are going to really help <name> and also help us to help him too.”

“... loved the time he spent with you and has been talking about it lots, you really made him feel at ease and I know this will have a huge impact on him.”

“Have received the report. It is so in-depth and so very helpful, especially all of your recommendations… Thanks once again for all your help. It is appreciated beyond words.”

“Thank you so much for your report…. It is so in depth and everything is very helpful… he was so relaxed the entire time…”

“Thank you for all your time and such a thorough report, it is appreciated so much, although sad reading that <name> does indeed have Dyslexia, as long as the school is on board, I believe with all your advice and recommendations it will help <name> to be able to deal with it and even overcome it in certain areas.”

“Kate immediately put my son at ease with her friendly manner, she knew how to motivate him and was professional but also fun! “

“The report we received was excellent, insightful and very detailed. The report and useful recommendations section, will be used as further evidence for an EHCP appeal. It will also help smooth his transition from primary to secondary school; supplying valuable information to the SENDCo. I'll also be using it, to help my son understand and discuss the difficulties he's faced in the past.”

“We are now armed with the knowledge of how school, and us as parents, can support him going forwards. My son gave Kate a hug when she left, a great recommendation! Thank you”.

“Honestly in the years we've been seeing professionals, no one has ever done such an in-depth report.”

“This should come in great use throughout his education, not only that but for him to learn and understand more about his difficulties. He has been very interested in talking about Dyslexia since your visit, also has been trying to educate his friends on his difficulties which is lovely for him to do.”

“I am overwhelmed with the report as you got everything that me and the school have mentioned and more.”

“Kate made sure that I understood everything that was going on in the assessment and made sure that I was comfortable with all the tests. Kate scheduled plenty of breaks so that fatigue would not impact the overall result of the assessment. I did not feel rushed or made to feel bad when I struggled with some of the tests. I know from experience that a person with dyslexia can feel a great deal of anxiety and stress with the prospect of language-based testing that they know they will struggle with.”

“Kate made sure that the assessment was stress-free and enjoyable, despite the challenging nature of some of the tests.”

“The Assessment report Kate provided was very well presented and it was easy for me to understand. The report was thorough, it has helped me further my understanding of dyslexia and how it impacts my daily life.” 

“The recommendations Kate made for adaptations that would be appropriate for me in my upcoming studies at the Open University will make my studies a lot more accessible and will allow me to focus on the subject rather than worrying about my dyslexia.”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone who is looking for a professional dyslexia assessment.”

“Thank you, Kate, for making the assessment process easy and stress-free.”

“Kate’s preparation, assessment and report were very thorough and professional but also done with kindness and support.  My son has been diagnosed with dyslexia but mostly due to the way Kate interacted with him, feels positive that having this diagnosis will help him.  Lots of practical advice and links to resources provided.”

“Kate was enthusiastic and patient throughout the process. She took the time to explain the purpose of the various tasks involved to us, as a family, and made sure that our daughter was comfortable and understood that there was no judgement attached to her eventual score throughout.”

“The long assessment was made fun and stress-free and our daughter felt that it was an investigation, not a test.”

“We were really pleased with the results which pin-pointed areas of difficulty that had been missed in assessments carried out at 2 different schools. The report has provided an explanation why our daughter was not performing as highly as teachers expected, despite her trying her best.”

“The difference that the assessment, subsequent advice and treatment have made to our daughter’s confidence, self-esteem and results has been amazing.”

“We are so grateful that Kate has been instrumental in restoring our daughter’s love of learning. The assessment was well worth the cost and the only regret is that we did not do this sooner.”

“The assessment process itself was a good experience for <name> and was very thorough. As his parents, it gave us a much better understanding of the things our son struggled with and how we could best help him. For <name>, it gave him a better understanding of himself and increased confidence”

“I just wanted to say thank you so much, being the way you are really helped me open up like I never have before… I know you will have heard this before, but you are fantastic at your job.”
