“We were introduced to Kathryn to help facilitate a Dyslexia assessment of our 10-year-old. From start to finish I have to say the service and understanding we received from Kathryn was amazing. She made us feel comfortable and addressed our concerns for the assessment. Our daughter, who can be very ‘hot and cold’ towards people warmed to Kathryn and it was easy to see the connection of trust was there from the start. The assessment was done in comfortable surroundings, every step explained before starting. The report we received was very factual but included the personal touch of getting to know our daughter in a short space of time.
Would highly recommend seeing Kathryn for any worries in development issues with their child, especially as national waiting lists mean many children are assessed far too late for practical help.”
— Mother who wanted a dyslexia assessment for her of 10-year-old.
“We found Kathryn very helpful when a young member of our family was diagnosed with Dyslexia. As a family we knew very little about Dyslexia and the impact that it has.
Following the diagnosis, we approached Kathryn who helped by explaining the report (written by another specialist), looking through school paperwork and a questionnaire of her own. Kathryn is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and was able to inform us of the measures, entitlement and provision that schools should provide when a child has been diagnosed with dyslexia, also excellent suggestions on help that could be given at home.
In fact, talking with Kathryn gave us great information, reassurance and confidence that with the right measures in place young people can realise their potential.”

“Kathryn is very welcoming and fantastic at putting R at ease. R’s confidence has increased massively since starting with Kathryn, she is now doing her homework independently without doubting herself. Kathryn always updates us and if there are any problems will inform us. The report was very well detailed, and she was happy to go through the feedback and explain to us and any questions we had and is always happy to help. Kathryn is very approachable with any queries or questions we have. If we want to work on certain areas Kathryn is happy to work with us. I would recommend Kathryn to friends and family without a doubt! Thank you for all your time and effort.”

“Since the first referral to Kathryn for my son she has been nothing but supportive. She clearly provided all the information needed at each step of the process and explained why each test was performed. My son felt very comfortable with Kathryn as he wasn’t rushed or judged at any point and encouraged throughout.
The aftercare has been amazing from updates to when the report was ready, communication and even checking on how my son has settled into high school as well as offering any additional guidance and support that I have needed.
Kathryn comes highly recommended from myself and I can’t thank her enough for all that she has done so far.”
