Dyslexia assessment for a teenager- recommendations sought

[sillywoman]

Can anyone recommend someone to do a full dyslexia assessment for my teenage son please? TIA

If you contact the British Dyslexia Assocaition (BDA), they should be able to let you know someone in the area.

My daughter was assessed at the Bloomfield Centre at Guys Hospital

Thanks, Ive got a recommendation from BDA but I was hoping for a more personal recommendation, particularly as there seem to be a few assessors in SE London. We had an assessment for another son done at the bloomfield some years back, but they are more child oriented than teen I think and so maybe not as appropriate.

My daughter had her initial assessment there as a child (aged 7) but then also had subsequent assessments there pre-GCSE and pre-A Level in order to qualify for extra time in the exams so they can definitely deal with teenagers.

I have worked with Paula Bishop-Liebler, a dyslexia accessor - she has diagnosed many students at our HE instition. Her contacts will come up if you google her name.
