Assessment and guidance for children and adults with literacy difficulties.
Dyslexia Cardiff
Assessment of literacy difficulties
and specific learning difficulties
(dyslexia)
Dyslexia Cardiff is a service run by Tom Pearson, Educational Psychologist, for adults and children who are concerned about their progress in literacy (reading, writing and/ or spelling).
I can provide a useful first step for those who have ongoing concerns about their literacy skills. Assessment involves looking at past literacy experiences as well as current abilities and attainments.
Following the assessment you can expect a written report which will contain recommendations for ways to further develop literacy skills. Or, it may be used to take to your school/ organisation in order to request support or concessions, if appropriate. For further details of assessments available, please see our Services and Fees section.
The aim is to provide:
-
Comprehensive and thorough assessment, using the latest assessment tools.
-
Robust and evidence-based assessment and advice.
-
Assessment that aims to evaluate progress over time, where appropriate.
