Dyslexia Assessor Recomendations Wanted


Magrat

Recommended Posts

Hi. My Son needs to have a post 16 Dyslexia assessment before he starts University later this month. The centre where he had his initial assessment can't fit him in in time so I'm looking for someone else who can do an assessment. If anyone has any recommendations for registered assessors I would be really grateful to hear from you with their details. Many thanks.

i just had my 17 year daughter assessed in the summer by Dr Cloherty who is a local psychologist and lives in Peckham. she has a website www.clinicalneuropsychologist.co.uk. She was very professional produced a very helpful report and has worked at great ormond street before. very nice nature with my daughter as well as she was rather nervous. let me know if you need any more details Kate

Karen, you might find that the University will do this for him, you might want to check?v I am at a university and we pay for students to do the test if needed.

You can also go to the BDA (british dyslexia association) who will know assessors in your area.

I had my test when I was at University (London South Bank University). It was recommended to all students that if you suspected that you're dyslexic that you apply for the test. Once you're tested and a recommendation is made you are then referred and interviewed for your assessment of needs.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
