Why Choose a Home Education Specialist Dyslexia Assessor?
I just get it.

As a home educator and qualified dyslexia assessor, I understand that the real value of a dyslexia assessment for a home educated child lies not in the diagnosis itself but in the recommendations that follow. The recommendation section is the heart of every dyslexia assessment report — it turns test results into clear, practical strategies that parents and tutors can use right away to support learning at home. Because home education (or home school as some refer to it) is so individual, advice that isn’t grounded in real home learning experience often misses the mark.

Why have a Dyslexia Assessment For A Home Educated Child?

When reading, spelling or writing feel harder than expected, a dyslexia assessment will help you understand your child’s learning profile and give you clear, practical ways to support them.

For home educated children, a formal diagnosis of dyslexia won’t usually make a big difference if you plan to continue home educating.
The main benefit comes from the detailed recommendations within the report, which explain how to support your child’s learning in practical, tailored ways. These strategies will make day-to-day learning more effective and enjoyable.
However, if your child later decides to go to university, a dyslexia assessment completed by an assessor with an APC (Assessment Practising Certificate) will allow them to apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) to access extra support and equipment.

What a Dyslexia Assessment Includes
The recommendation section of the report is the heart of every dyslexia assessment report. It translates assessment results into practical, actionable strategies that parents and tutors can use immediately to support learning at home. Because home education can look very different from a school environment, recommendations that are not informed by home learning experience will not be realistic or truly helpful.
Dyslexia Assessors who are not familiar with how home education can look will not suggest strategies that actually work for you.
