“I cannot recommend Rebecca and her services enough. She was incredibly thorough prior to my son’s dyslexia assessment and her calming presence immediately put him at ease during the assessment. Reading her meticulous report I could tell that she had gained an in depth understanding of my son’s strengths and weaknesses. After the assessment she very kindly gifted us some wonderful resources for us to share with our son so that we all had a better understanding of his dyslexia diagnosis. We now feel better equipped to tackle the academic year ahead thanks to Rebecca”

“We worked with Rebecca to help us understand if one of our children required specific support with their learning. Rebecca proved very effective during the assessment, settling nerves and producing a very insightful report that revealed hitherto unknown aspects. We are very grateful and would recommend Rebecca to anyone else looking for this kind of help.”

“My daughter really enjoyed her 2.5 hour assessment and was talking about it for several days afterwards. The assessment took place in our home and Rebecca instantly put her at ease. Rebecca sent a brief summary later the same day and an extremely comprehensive report the following week. As well as pinpointing the areas my daughter needs additional help in, there are many helpful recommendations, which I look forward to putting into practice over the coming weeks. Thank you Rebecca!”

“We are very happy with the support and service offered from the first moment of contact, prompt replies, understanding, and considering all our concerns. Very professional but most importantly very respectful and sympathetic to the particular situations. Many thanks”

“Rebecca is professional but very kind and great at encouraging my child to complete the assessment. Report was provided quickly and gave detailed recommendations and guidance. Thank you.”

“Rebecca was recommended through a friend and I was delighted with the whole process. Response times were very quick, even over the summer holidays, everything was arranged promptly and ran smoothly. Even more importantly, my son felt relaxed and I felt a lot of thought had gone into the assessment process to personalise the experience for him. The report is very detailed with a lot of suggestions for home and school support which will be invaluable when choosing the right high school for him. Thank you very much from us both 😊”

“Very prompt reply to initial enquiry and excellent assessment of our eldest son. The report contained a wealth of useful information and tips for both his school and for us to follow.”

“Rebecca has now assessed both my sons. She has a lovely manner with children which put both my boys at ease very quickly and they actually enjoyed doing the assessment. The overview came through almost immediately and the assessment document which followed closely behind is detailed and a very useful tool for both home and school. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”

“We had Rebecca come in for our 10 year old daughter. She was fantastic, very caring and put my daughter completely at ease. The report afterwards was amasingly comprehensive. Would recommend to anyone that wants/needs their child to be assessed.”

“Rebecca came to our house and conducted a full diagnostic dyslexia assessment on my 10 year old son. She had a calm and friendly manner and put my son at ease straight away. A summary of the assessment came by email the following day and the full report was emailed and sent under 2 weeks. She is a knowledgeable assessor and answered all my questions prior to the assessment. The report was very clear and easy to read. The report outlined areas his school and I could target and needed work on. I would highly recommend her.”

“Rebecca is absolutely lovely. She will put even the most anxious of children at ease and has been incredibly helpful with explanations and follow up information. My son actually really enjoyed his assessment because it was just like playing different games in his view, all done during a normal school day. This is a considerably less expensive option than getting an assessment through Helen Arkell, especially helpful if you are having more than one child assessed. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“Rebecca was excellent, both my children enjoyed their time with her and her report was very thorough. I would definitely recommend.”

“Rebecca was professional, approachable and reassuring throughout our daughters assessment. Would happily recommend to other parents.”

“My son immediately warmed to Rebecca and she was perfect at putting him at ease and working through the test with him in a positive manner. The report was detailed and covered everything the school needed in order to target his support, they were impressed with the helpful targets she set too. I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca.”

“Really professional and comprehensive report . My son enjoyed the assessment and was happy and relaxed . Thank you so much 😊”

“Highly recommend Rebecca to anyone, she was great with our daughter Taylor, Very helpful with the whole process even came to our daughters school to make her feel at ease. The report went in to great detail and has proved to be very useful.”

“I referred my son to Rebecca to assess whether he is dyslexic or not as he has been struggling at school. Harry really warmed to Rebecca and was happy and confident to spend the 2.5 hours with her doing the assessment. Rebecca fed back initial results to us the same day and the full report within 2 weeks. Rebecca is lovely and the report she produced was very detailed and helpful. I would highly recommend her.”

“I recently used Surrey Dyslexia Support to have my child tested and have been very impressed with the whole process.Rebecca was very helpful and professional and also made my son feel at ease during the testing process. Great communication both before and after the test and the final report was extremely detailed and useful. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”

“We contacted Rebecca regarding our 10 year old son. We’d had a few concerns over processing speed and reluctance to read and ongoing troubles with spellings. We went to Rebecca to have a full assessment. She was great and made our son feel at ease and he was happy doing the 3 hour assessment. Rebecca’s initial feedback was great as it reassured us. The full report came three weeks later. We have just been to the school to talk about an Individual learning plan and they said it was one of the best reports they had seen in terms of recommendations and targets areas. Thank you Rebecca for making this altogether new process for us as relaxing and straightforward as it could be.”

“Kathryn enjoyed the assessment day and did not feel any duress doing ‘homework with Rebecca’. We were kept very well informed throughout the process; from initial contact through to report completion. Rebecca was flexible, approachable and professional at all times. The report was beautifully written and easily understood. All stress and concerns were removed from the process. Thank you.”

“I was very impressed by the surroundings and Rebecca’s knowledge and insight. The followed report was informative and has helped me to raise key action points with school. I was very happy with everything and so was my son.”

“We contacted Rebecca to assess our 8 year old little girl who has struggled with school, being relatively late to read and coming home tired and fractious. We were keen to rule a specific learning problem such as dyslexia. Rebecca’s welcome was great and meant our little girl went happily into the assessment and managed to stay on task the whole time. The assessment report arrived very soon afterwards and is thorough and helpful.”

“I took my daughter to see Rebecca as she’s really struggling with school and it’s completely exhausting her. She doesn’t like writing or reading aloud and is normally shy but Rebecca was so friendly and engaging that Scarlet happily went into the assessment. We received a detailed and accurate report and despite Scarlet not showing any signs of dyslexia at the moment, Rebecca gave us a range of recommended strategies. We will probably see Rebecca again for some support work and I have already recommended her to a friend.”

“Rebecca was exceptional. Following some concerns around the progress of my son in learning to read & write I took him to see Rebecca. She was extremely engaging, patient and encouraging of my son. The feedback she gave was detailed and she suggested multiple support strategies for us to try going forward.”

“Our experience was excellent. My son enjoyed the assessment and was keen to return for the second part. His school was impressed with the report. Thank you.”
