The assessment was thorough and reassuring. The report explained my child’s strengths clearly and gave us practical strategies the school could implement straight away.

Reviews and Comments 

     

 Kerry was very kind to my son when he was being assessed and she clearly understood that he was very nervous. She put him at ease and was able to get him to perform to the best of his ability in the assessment. He is not feeling more positive about his dyslexia.

 The assessor was very professional and knowledgeable, as a result I received the support I needed at University and to gain extra time. The process of assessment was made very straight forward.

 Dyslexia Kent was able to offer a really helpful description of my daughter's struggles with reading. I wish we had done this some time ago. The report was very detailed and had lots of ideas of what we can do at home and at school to help with spelling and reading. I would thoroughly recommend Kerry.
