DYSLEXIA SPECIALIST

Full Dyslexia Assessment (Grade 3 to Adults)

Real Answers. Real Strategies. Real Change.

A Full Dyslexia Assessment is a detailed, one-on-one evaluation designed to identify dyslexia in learners from Grade 3 through to adulthood.

This comprehensive process helps uncover the root of reading, writing, and processing challenges—providing clarity, direction, and a pathway toward effective support.

While my practice is based in Cape Town, I offer convenient online consultations.

Why Have a Full Assessment?

  • IDENTIFY DYSLEXIA ACCURATELY:
    • Determine whether dyslexia is present and distinguish it from other learning difficulties.
  • UNDERSTAND HOW YOU LEARN:
    • Gain insight into cognitive strengths and weaknesses—including memory, reasoning, and language processing.
  • SHAPE THE RIGHT SUPPORT PLAN:
    • Use the results to develop personalized strategies that build confidence and support academic or workplace success.

How it Works

  • Initial Consultation: Meet to discuss current concerns, goals, and relevant background.
  • Assessment Sessions: Conducted in a calm, private setting over one or two sessions to ensure a comfortable experience.
  • Feedback & Report: Receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report with results, diagnosis (if applicable), and clear, practical next steps.

No two people experience dyslexia the same way. That’s why a personalized assessment matters.
