About me

I'm Tom Pearson, a chartered educational psychologist. After teaching for 4 years in the late 1990s, I obtained 12 years of public sector experience as a local authority educational psychologist before developing my own practice in 2015.  I carry out every assessment myself.

​

Dyslexia Cardiff is an ethically driven company that offers diagnostic assessment, consultation and a way forward for individuals who are struggling to develop their literacy skills.

​

I pride myself on robust, comprehensive assessments of literacy concerns, providing well written and valuable individualised reports and advice.

I am trained and qualified to be able to use a number of standardised assessment tools including:​

​

  • WISC-V cognitive assessment (ages 6-17) - evaluates language, visual processing, auditory memory and processing speed skills in school-age children

  • WPPSI-IV cognitive assessment (ages 2:6 to 7:7)

  • WIAT-III assessment of literacy and numeracy attainments (child and adult)

  • WAIS-IV (ages 16+) - evaluates cognitive skills in adults

  • Other literacy assessment tools such as TOWRE2, CTOPP2 and DASH​

​

I maintain an ongoing portfolio of training and professional development. For example:​

​

  • Various dyslexia/ dyscalculia conferences and training events (2014-2026) e.g. the European Dyslexia Association conference in Gdansk, Sept 2026

  • WAIS-V adult cognitive assessment training (Sept 2026)

  • New SASC report writing training (March 2026)

  • Child safeguarding training (Jan 2026)

  • JCQ exam concessions training (Sept 2025)

  • Dyscalculia conference (Sept 2024)

​

My professional memberships include:​

​

  • Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

  • British Psychological Society (BPS)

  • Associate Fellow of The British Psychological Society (AFBPsS)

  • Division of Educational and Child Psychology within the British Psychological Society (DECP-BPS)
