Testimonials (reviews)
- "The assessor was fantastic, she was patient, compassionate and reassuring throughout. She brought a sense a humour that helped to relax the process, but didn’t take away from her professionalism. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and very perceptive, picking up on the slightest of clues to give a very thorough and complete diagnosis.."

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 ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ (BDA) Team and the assessor!"

Ìý - "A very smooth process from beginning to end, the assessor made our son feel very comfortable in what could have been quite a daunting situation for a 9 year old. The report we received post assessment was extremely thorough with helpful advice for our subsequent conversations with his school."
Ìý - "Our assessor was excellent, kind, empathetic and made the whole process stress free"
Ìý - "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).
Ìý - 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.
Ìý - 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.
Ìý - 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."
Ìý - "The assessor we used was brilliant – she put my daughter at ease and made the testing process as painless as possible.
Communication from the assessor was also fantastic. I would highly recommend this service."
