Dyslexic Asssessment

At Surrey’s Learning and Counselling Centre our unique learning environment supports you and your child when you discover she/he is are having problems learning.

We understand your concerns our team of highly qualified Specialist Teachers is here to support and guide you. If after a consultation you decide that a diagnostic assessment is required we will then talk you through the process answering any questions and alleviating any fears you might have.

​

The assessments can provide an official diagnosis of dyslexia/dyscalculia and identify any other underlying learning difficulties. This usually takes 2.5 hours and takes place in the calm surroundings of SLCC.  

​

A little about me, my interest in dyslexia and specific learning difficulties developed whilst teaching history in the state and independent sectors. When my eldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia I decided to make special education the focus of my work. My experience as Head of Learning Support and SENCo at two Surrey independent secondary schools  as well as my consultancy work has allowed me further insight into the educational system.

​

Throughout my thirty years in education, I have remained passionate about the central importance of developing every young person’s confidence and self-esteem.
