Dyslexia Assessments and Support with Helen
I'm Helen, the dyslexia assessor and specialist tutor at Decoding Dyslexia. I am passionate about helping children and adults with dyslexia and literacy difficulties unlock their full potential. I provide personalised support tailored to the individual's unique needs and specialise in providing dyslexia assessments for home educated children. My goal is to empower families, educators and learners with the knowledge and tools needed to build confidence and thrive both academically and beyond.
Dyslexia Assessments - Home Educated Children
As a home educator myself, I have a deep understanding of the unique nature of home education and the flexibility it offers. This insight allows me to tailor the assessment experience to suit your child’s learning environment, making it relaxed, relevant and accessible. I know the right questions to ask parents and carers to build a full picture of your child’s needs, ensuring that the diagnosis is accurate and truly reflective of their experience. My recommendations are carefully written with home education in mind, offering practical, personalised strategies that fit naturally into your family’s approach to learning.

Home Educated Children - Dyslexia Assessments
While the tests and assessment process are the same whether a child is in school or home educated, the difference lies in personalisation—asking the right questions to build a clear picture of their educational history, highlight everyday strengths and challenges, and, most importantly, create recommendations that are practical and tailored to home learning rather than school based settings.

Dyslexia Screener
Home Educated Children - Dyslexia Assessments
Specialist Dyslexia Tuition
A dyslexia screener is a helpful first step if you're wondering whether a child or adult may have signs of dyslexia.
While it doesn’t give a formal diagnosis, it can be a useful and accessible way of determining if a child or adult may need additional support.
I offer two types of screeners so you can choose the level of detail that feels right for your family.
