What people say
Jenny M
Claire carried out a Dyslexia Assessment on my daughter. My daughter was super nervous but all went smoothly and she wasn’t stressed or dysregulated during or after the assessment.
A thorough in-depth report was received post assessment with lots of helpful information and advice on how to support our daughter with the challenges she faces going forward.
Thank you so much.

Claire completed a lot of research before the assessment which meant I was reassured she had understood my son’s situation well in advance. On the day of the assessment she made him feel comfortable and we then received a comprehensive follow up report and phone chat for any questions. I’d definitely recommend Strive and felt confident that Claire’s assessment gave us all the information we needed.
