Find an Educational Psychologist

We offer a clinical assessment with our in house EP in Wadeson Street Dyslexia centre. The fixed fee assessment provides an affordable assessment for parents who are concerned about possible underachievement, or are concerned that specific learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia may be affecting academic performance. This is a through assessment but does not include a school visit with observations. This is not an assessment that is suitable for complex legal or tribunal cases.
