I am sorry but due to high demand, and being full until February 2025, I am not taking any more bookings at present to let me catch up with the backlog.  As I don’t hold a waiting list, please look back in a few weeks to see whether I am taking bookings again.

If you require an assessment urgently, you can find a list of dyslexia assessors on the Patoss website (the professional organisation that oversees dyslexia assessors), click here.  Search by postcode to find your nearest assessor and tick the APC box for a fully qualified assessor.

Welcome!  I offer efficient and friendly dyslexia assessments and advice conveniently based in Taunton, Somerset. I provide a professional service to young people aged 8 and over in primary and secondary school, students and adults.

At the end of the assessment I will give feedback on my conclusions and then write up a jargon-free report, usually available within one week, which I am happy to discuss with you.

If you live to the east of Taunton or in Dorset and feel that Barton-on-Sea in Hampshire might be within reach, then my daughter-in-law Jenny Bowyer would be pleased to assess you or your child for dyslexia and dyspraxia as she is a fully qualified assessor.  Please see her website.

I was anxious about what the assessment would entail but Elaine put me at ease and explained the assessment and the results well so that I now know my strengths and weaknesses. She helped me to understand why I had been struggling for so long and gave useful ideas to help in my weak areas.

The tests and Elaine’s explanations of my answers gave me a full understanding of my dyslexia.  After nearly 3 hours of testing I was so pleased to have my problem properly explained to me.
