Transforming Lives Through Expert Support
Empowering Individuals with Dyslexia
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia affects 1 in 10 people.
It primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling.
Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed.
Dyslexia occurs across the range of intellectual abilities.
It is best thought of as a continuum, not a distinct category, and there are no clear cut-off points.
Co-occurring difficulties may be seen in aspects of language, motor co-ordination, mental calculation, concentration and personal organisation, but these are not, by themselves, markers of dyslexia.
A good indication of the severity and persistence of dyslexic difficulties can be gained by examining how the individual responds or has responded to well-founded intervention.

Why choose Success with Dyslexia?

- Outcomes from assessment enable learners to understand their preferred learning style and how they process information. Specific recommendations and strategies are tailored to support, guide and equip individuals with tools to reap success.
- Whether or not a diagnosis of dyslexia is appropriate from test outcomes, a bespoke report with tailored recommendations for school, home and the individual, assists in the triangulation process required to ensure there is consistency in approach and support to meet individual requirements.
