Dyslexia
Assessment and support for reading and specific learning difficulties.
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that mainly affects reading, spelling and writing. It's not related to a child's intelligence — bright, capable children can find reading unexpectedly hard.
With the right teaching approaches and support, children with dyslexia learn to read and thrive. Early understanding helps avoid the frustration and knocked confidence that unrecognised difficulties can cause.
What parents often notice
- •Slow, effortful reading, or avoiding reading
- •Difficulty learning letters, sounds and spelling
- •Mixing up similar words or letters
- •Trouble with sequences — days, months, instructions
- •School progress that doesn't match the child's ability elsewhere
Every child is different, and noticing one or two of these doesn't mean your child has dyslexia. If you're unsure, an assessment brings clarity.

Common questions
Does dyslexia mean my child isn't clever?
Not at all. Dyslexia affects specific skills like reading and spelling and is unrelated to overall intelligence. Many children with dyslexia are highly able.
When can dyslexia be assessed?
It's usually assessed once a child is learning to read, but early signs can be noticed sooner. If reading is a struggle, an assessment helps.
Can support really make a difference?
Yes. With the right teaching approaches and support, children with dyslexia make strong progress and regain confidence.
