Background

Hello I’m Rebecca Barlow, an experienced Level 7 specialist dyslexia assessor based in Chiddingfold, Surrey. I assess children aged 8-18 in Surrey and surrounding areas. I have a current Assessment Practising Certificate through The Dyslexia Guild.

I first became interested in supporting children with literacy challenges whilst working as a primary school teacher. This led to me undertaking postgraduate training with Dyslexia Action to become a specialist teacher and assessor. I set up ‘Surrey Dyslexia Support’ in 2015 with a vision to help children with learning challenges to reach their potential. I support them to understand how they learn and build their confidence and self-esteem.

  • I would highly recommend Rebecca as a dyslexia assessor. They are friendly, welcoming, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Their supportive approach helps create a calm and positive environment, and their clear explanations make everything easy to understand. An excellent service from start to finish.

  • Rebecca was extremely thorough in her assesment and report, which was received very quickly within 2 weeks of the assesment. She went above and beyond to provide information and a reading aid following my daughters diagnosis. I would highly recommend Rebecca to any parent seeking a professional to assess their child and we thank her for all she has done to help and support us and our daughter.

  • Rebecca provided a warm and safe environment for our assessment. She was thorough, and provided a really detailed report, with follow up advice for a reasonable fee. Highly recommend!
