About Dyslexia South East

Based in East Sussex, Dyslexia South East offers professional diagnostic assessments for children and teenagers who may be experiencing difficulties with reading, writing, or spelling. The business is led by a qualified dyslexia specialist with postgraduate training and extensive experience supporting learners with additional needs. The service is fully independent and provides clear, reliable evidence that can be used to support educational planning.

** What We Do.
We carry out detailed assessments to explore how each individual learns best, identifying areas such as phonological awareness, memory, processing speed, and written language. Clients receive a comprehensive report with practical strategies tailored to their needs. In addition to assessments, we can offer guidance for parents and schools, and help with applications for special arrangements in exams or further education.

** Our Values.
At Dyslexia South East, we believe that every learner deserves to be understood and supported. We create a calm and respectful assessment environment where children can feel at ease. Our approach focuses on clarity, honesty, and collaboration - working with families and schools to help learners thrive, not just academically but in confidence and self-belief.

** Who We Work With.
We work with families, schools, and local authorities to support children and young people aged 6 to 18. Some families come to us with specific concerns about dyslexia, while others are seeking clarity around a child’s broader learning profile. Many of our clients are already receiving SEN support in school and want a clearer picture to guide next steps. We are happy to liaise with teachers, SENCOs and other professionals to ensure findings are understood and acted upon.

** Why Choose Us.
Choosing Dyslexia South East means working with a specialist who is not only qualified but also deeply committed to inclusive education. We take the time to understand each learner’s background, strengths, and needs, and we offer assessments that are thorough but also approachable and child-friendly. Our reports are detailed yet accessible - written to be used, not just filed - and we follow the latest professional standards, ensuring accuracy, fairness, and practical impact.
