"We had our 9 year old son assessed for dyslexia with Katie. The whole process was seamless, from the initial telephone conversation, to the assessment and follow up diagnosis. The document following the assessment was very thorough, easy to understand as a parent and incredibly user friendly for the school. We were very happy with her service and have recommended her to other parents."

"Katie was so helpful and thorough with testing Hugo for Dyslexia . The report Katie gave had so much Information to help him at school and suggestions on what was needed for him personally. It also helped us as parents understand the struggles Hugo was having and how we could help him too. This helped Hugo in his confidence which was really important. He realised his brain worked differently when trying to read and write and to work with that. Hugo gets the support and help at school in small groups after having this report done ."
