"The assessor was amazing she really put my daughter at ease. My daughter received her diagnosis and a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. Thank you."

"The assessor was friendly and professional. I was anxious coming in to the assessment and he's approach and process reduced my stress levels and supported me throughout the assessment. It was a positive experience and helped me feel comfortable with my challenges within the context of my gifts! In the past it has felt like having Dyslexia a shameful secret abnormality. I am very grateful, and surprised that it was a positive experience even when I was naturally struggling to do some part of the assessment. Thank you to the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) Team and the assessor!"

"We have been very pleased with the service and our assessor was amazing. Thank you so much. Our assessor said our daughter could call beforehand with any worries. When there, the assessor really put us both as ease. Very lovely person and really prompt with report which was very detailed."

"I thought the process was going to be slow and difficult to organise but it was quite the opposite. The response from the BDA was almost immediate as was the response from the assessor. Thank you!"

"Great service, I would highly recommend this service to others. The BDA contacted me very quickly within the set time frames. The assessor was very friendly and understood the issues I was having."

"I contacted the BDA as I didn't know where else to turn. I had never considered that my son was dyslexic, but enough flags were flying to let us know that he had difficulties particularly with his writing. His spelling was excellent ( a misconception that stopped both myself and teachers from seeing his difficulties).

The BDA were really efficient and helpful, by responding and explaining how we could get our son assessed and by sending a list of assessors who worked with 12 year old children and who were relatively nearby. After identifying an assessor, they put us in touch and we made an appointment.

Our assessor was brilliant, responding with information about the test and to more specific worries we had, before we attended. The assessor gave us really thorough feedback both on the day of the test and in writing a few days later, which we could then take to his school.

My son is dyslexic and it was like a lightbulb had been switched on, and so many things became clear for both our son and us. We thought the service from start to finish from both the BDA and the assessor was excellent, professional and massively reassuring and I would recommend the BDA as a first port of call for anybody who needs information about, or assessment for Dyslexia."
