Understand how your child learns – and what to do next
A specialist dyslexia assessment gives you a clear picture of how your child learns – and what support will make the biggest difference. Here’s what you can expect from the assessment:
Spot difficulties early – before confidence drops
Identifying dyslexia early allows time to put into place the most effective interventions and support to enhance progress.
Know exactly what support your child needs
My comprehensive and personalised report allows you to make well-informed decisions about your child’s education based on their needs.
Get a clear, easy-to-follow report (no jargon)
Individualised support ensures your child gets the right help, at the right time, in the right way. My comprehensive recommendations provide clear, targeted strategies for both home and school.
Help your child understand how they learn
Help your child to understand their challenges and why, what their unique learning style is and boost their self-belief and confidence in and out of school.
Make confident decisions about their future
Future proof your child’s learning journey by planning effectively for their future education and career considering their strengths and challenges.
Get practical strategies for school and home
Ensure that your child receives appropriate classroom adjustments and targeted strategies to support learning.

What happens before the assessment?
Gathering as much background information as possible is an essential part of the process. Before the assessment can take place, you can expect an assessment pack containing information about me so that your child can feel at ease before the assessment. It will also provide details about the assessment location, instructions on what you need to do beforehand, and a list of items to bring with you on the assessment day.
Additionally, you will need to complete a parent questionnaire and your child's teacher (or whoever knows them best) will need to complete a school questionnaire. There is also a visual questionnaire to complete and I ask that your child has had an eye test within the last 24 months.
Please click the link provided below to download the questionnaires. Once downloaded, please forward to the class teacher or SENCO. These need to be returned before the assessment can take place.
Please note: The pack downloads as a .zip file containing both PDF and Word documents. We recommend downloading it on a desktop or laptop. If you have any issues, just get in touch and we can email the files to you. Only the Word (.docx) documents need to be completed and returned to claire@strive-dyslexiaservices.co.uk

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.
