Diagnostic Assessment

We offer comprehensive dyslexia assessments for learners aged 7-16 years old to identify specific learning difficulties and provide clarity around their learning needs. Each assessment includes standardised testing, a detailed written report, and a feedback session to explain the results and recommendations. Our goal is to help families and educators better understand how to support the learner with practical, individualised strategies.

Dyslexia Intervention

Our dyslexia intervention uses the proven Orton-Gillingham approach, an evidence-based, multi-sensory method that helps learners build strong reading, spelling, and writing skills. Tailored to each child’s unique needs, sessions focus on structured, hands-on learning to boost confidence and independence. We work closely with families and educators to reinforce progress both at home and in school.

Finding Fiona was a huge relief for our family. As parents living abroad, we were struggling to understand why our son was falling behind in school, and we didn’t know where to turn. Fiona carried out a full dyslexia assessment with great care, professionalism, and sensitivity. She took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of our questions with patience and empathy.

Fiona’s support has been a game-changer for our family, helping us feel confident and informed in a system that was once so confusing. We can’t recommend her enough."

“

When we first reached out to Fiona, we were feeling unsure and anxious about our daughter’s struggles with reading. As an international family, we weren’t familiar with the local system or how to access the right support. From the very first conversation, Fiona put us at ease. The assessment process was thorough, insightful, and handled with such kindness that our daughter felt comfortable and understood.

Fiona’s expertise and support have made a world of difference to our family."

  • A dyslexia assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that looks at various areas of learning, including reading, writing, spelling, memory, and processing skills. It includes standardized testing, background information, and observations.
