Testimonials for Dyslexia Assessments

Having our daughter assessed for dyslexia was the best decision we could have made for her. The assessment was such a great starting point for us. Our daughter was so relieved to find out that there was reason why even though she worked so hard she could not obtain the results she wanted and this was starting to affect her confidence in all areas of her life. Karen carried out the assessment in a manner that made our daughter very comfortable with the process and met with us after sending the report to us, to explain the report and how both us as parents and our daughter's school could make changes to assist with her learning.

Our daughter's school was very receptive and supportive to the changes recommended in the report and her teacher reported that these changes actually made a difference in the first two weeks.  Our daughter has also been very pleased with the results that she has achieved by putting in a few simple changes into the way she learns things. The school did note how detailed and helpful Karen's assessment was. Obviously our daughter is going to continue coming across challenges as a result of her dyslexia but now we have strategies in place that can assist her in the way that she learns and this has seen her confidence increase immensely.
