Think Dyslexia - Dyslexia Teaching, Assessments and Staff Training

Welcome to Think Dyslexia

Dyslexia Teaching, Assessments and Training

Think Dyslexia offers specialist dyslexia assessment for children and adults and bespoke one-to-one teaching for students at home or in school.

Our highly qualified specialist teachers hold a Level 5 qualification in teaching students with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) and our assessors hold a Level 7 qualification in assessing students for SpLD.

Additionally, assessors hold an Assessment Practicing Certificate with PATOSS. We have many years’ experience in teaching and assessing children. Building students’ self-esteem and developing their individual learning strategies is central to what we do.

Teaching

Face-to-face, remote or blended teaching for children, both in and out of school.

Specialist teaching can help a child to unlock their potential – whether it be short term study and revision strategies to assist older learners prior to examinations, or longer term sustained intervention to develop core literacy and/or numeracy skills.

Assessments

Dyslexia assessments for children, university students and adults.

Think Dyslexia’s Specialist Assessors (APC PATOSS) are highly trained. Their professional qualifications enable them to diagnose dyslexia. They have a wealth of knowledge on dyslexia and the impact this specific learning difficulty may have on literacy, numeracy and other aspects of a student’s life.

Training

Training to help school staff understand the challenges dyslexic students face.

We work in tandem with specialists across the spectrum of learning difficulties and workshops can be arranged for your school – for example how to deal with anxiety and exam stress. Please do be in touch to learn more.

Our Director & Assessor

Ann Behn | Director

With a family of 3 boys, Ann has a keen interest in the process of learning, and the impact that outstanding teaching can have on a child’s confidence within the classroom. She assesses full time for Specific Learning Difficulties and loves her work.

“It is a great privilege to work with children who are experiencing difficulties at school. Whether or not there is a specific learning difficulty, carefully considered reporting and effective, targeted recommendations for practical ways forward can make all the difference in a child’s life at school and beyond.”

My daughter’s poor literacy skills were holding her back academically and had severely affected her self esteem. She started one to one lessons with her Specialist Teacher and within weeks we noticed huge improvements in her literacy, processing and comprehension skills. She is now working towards her English GCSE which is truly amazing, however more importantly is that we have our smiling daughter back! We can never thank you enough for the support you have given our family.

The Specialist Teacher keeps our son engaged and he looks forward to his lessons. Seeing him gain confidence and start to be able to express himself in writing is priceless. He is no longer paralyzed with stress when faced with a writing task. The support of Think Dyslexia with finding our teacher and easy invoicing has been so helpful.
