Specialist Dyslexia Assessment

A dyslexia assessment can provide a clearer understanding of a child's strengths, challenges and learning profile.

At More Than Words Tuition, we provide professional dyslexia assessments for children and young people, helping families understand why certain aspects of learning may feel difficult and what support can make a difference.
