Diagnostic dyslexia assessments in Cardiff and South Wales

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:
