Whether you're seeking clarity for yourself or your child, I aim to make the assessment process as clear, supportive, and informative as possible.

1. Initial Enquiry

Get in touch via the contact page or email to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll discuss your needs, explain what’s involved, and confirm whether a diagnostic assessment is the right next step.

2. Background Information

Once booked, I’ll send you a background questionnaire to complete before the assessment. This includes developmental history, educational concerns, and any previous reports. For children, I may also ask for input from their school or teacher.

3. The Assessment Appointment

The face-to-face (or remote) assessment usually takes around 2.5 to 3 hours. It includes a range of standardised tests covering:

• Reading and spelling
• Writing and handwriting speed
• Memory and processing skills
• Phonological awareness
• Visual and auditory skills

I take a friendly and flexible approach, allowing breaks as needed, especially for younger clients.

4. The Report

Following the assessment, I will produce a comprehensive written report in line with current SASC guidelines. It will include: A clear explanation of the findings Any formal diagnosis (if applicable) Strengths and areas of difficulty Practical recommendations for school, university, or the workplace Reports are typically completed within 2–3 weeks of the assessment.

5. Follow-Up Support

Once the report is complete, I offer a short follow-up call to answer any questions and talk through the next steps. You are also welcome to contact me afterwards if anything needs further clarification.
