Understanding your strengths and challenges is the first step toward meaningful support. Our assessments are comprehensive yet flexible, designed to suit children, adults in higher education, the workplace, and everyday life.
After reviewing the information on the website—and optionally completing the traits quiz—you’ll choose the assessment that best suits your needs. Booking is completed online with a £100 non-refundable deposit, and the remaining balance is due approximately one week before your appointment. Once booked, you’ll receive an email with a link to the pre-assessment questionnaires (please check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive). If the assessment is for someone under 16 and in full-time education, we’ll also need input from their school. All questionnaires, along with any relevant reports, must be returned before the assessment. Around a week prior to your appointment, you’ll receive another email with detailed instructions for the day.
Sessions take place face-to-face at my home office in Maulden, Bedfordshire. Each session usually lasts around two hours, though this may vary depending on age, individual requirements, and the need for breaks. We pace the assessment carefully to ensure you remain comfortable and focused throughout.
During the session, we use a blend of cognitive testing alongside numeracy and problem solving tasks relevant to specific learning differences such as dyscalculia or processing difficulties. Everything takes place in a calm, supportive environment, so you can perform at your best.
Afterward, you’ll receive a detailed report that outlines the findings and includes clear, practical recommendations. Our aim is to provide you with useful insight and support that empowers you to move forward with confidence.
