We are an Adult and Child Psychological Assessment service based in Birmingham who provide comprehensive educational assessments for adults and children (for school, University studies or workplace purposes). Dyslexia is a life-long form of specific learning difficulty, primarily concerned with problems in learning ability in areas such as reading, writing and spelling. Individuals with Dyslexia h

ave unique profiles of strengths and weaknesses, with no two individuals the same and the impact of dyslexia on each is different. Those with Dyslexia may also have areas of their learning that they excel in, whilst in others, they find extremely difficult. It is estimated that up to 10% of the population in the UK have Dyslexia, with no discrimination on the age of those affected.

💭 Have you ever wondered…

“Why can I understand something when someone explains it to me, but struggle when I have to read or write it myself?”

This is something many people with dyslexia experience.

You may have developed ways of working around your difficulties over the years without realising there could be a reason behind them.

If this sounds familiar, it may be worth exploring whether dyslexia could be part of your learning profile.

It's never too late to understand yourself better. 💜

📚 Does your child love stories but dislike reading?

Sometimes children who struggle with reading aren't lacking interest or effort.

They may simply find the process of reading much harder than their classmates.

You might notice that they:

💜 Avoid reading
💜 Become tired quickly
💜 Guess words
💜 Struggle with spelling
💜 Get frustrated with homework
💜 Have difficulty remembering what they've just read

If you're concerned about your child's literacy development, you're not alone.

Getting the right advice and support can make a real difference. 🌈

🔎 What is the point of a dyslexia assessment?

An assessment can help provide a clearer picture of an individual's:

📚 Literacy skills
🧠 Learning profile
💪 Strengths
🔎 Areas of difficulty
🛠️ Strategies that may help

For parents, it can provide a better understanding of how to support their child.

For adults, it can help make sense of difficulties that may have been present for years.

Most importantly, it can help replace **“Why can't I do this?”** with **“Now I understand how I learn.”** 💜

If you're considering an assessment for yourself or your child, get in touch to discuss your options.

💬 Let's talk about dyslexia!

If you could tell a teacher, employer or family member **one thing** about dyslexia that you wish everyone understood, what would it be?

👇 Share your thoughts in the comments.

You never know who might read your comment and realise they're not alone. 💜

🌟 Sometimes the biggest impact of dyslexia isn't the reading or spelling… it's confidence.

A child who repeatedly hears:

❌ “Read it again.”
❌ “You weren't concentrating.”
❌ “Try harder.”

may eventually start thinking:

💭 “I'm not good at this.”
💭 “I'm not clever.”
💭 “Everyone else can do it except me.”

But struggling with literacy does **not** mean a child lacks ability.

With understanding, appropriate support and strategies that suit the individual, children can begin to recognise their strengths and rebuild confidence. 💜

Let's focus on what children **can** do — not just what they find difficult.

Think you're too old to be assessed for dyslexia? Think again.

Many adults reach their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond before discovering that the difficulties they've experienced with reading, spelling, writing or organisation may be linked to dyslexia.

Getting an answer can be incredibly validating — and can help you understand yourself better and find strategies that make everyday life easier.

And for children, early identification can help ensure they receive the right support as they progress through school. 📚✨

**Dyslexia doesn't disappear with age. Understanding it can change everything.**

🧠 **Could dyslexia be affecting more than reading?**

Dyslexia can present differently from person to person. Some common signs may include:

📚 Difficulty reading or decoding unfamiliar words
✏️ Persistent spelling difficulties
📝 Challenges getting ideas down on paper
🔤 Mixing up letters or struggling with written information
⏰ Taking longer to complete reading and writing tasks
🧠 Difficulty remembering sequences or instructions
💭 Feeling frustrated or lacking confidence around literacy

In adults, these difficulties may have been present since childhood but simply never identified.

A dyslexia assessment can help provide a clearer understanding of an individual's strengths and difficulties — and, importantly, can help identify useful strategies and support.

If you're wondering whether dyslexia could be part of your child's or your own experience, we're here to help. 💜

✨ Different doesn't mean less capable.
