Luna and I spent the summer evaluating older tests and thinking about how to update my test battery. Very exciting trying out different combinations of new tests!

Assessments are always the highlight of my week. It was so lovely to receive such positive feedback from my most recent assessment:

“Rachel provided a calm, thorough dyslexia assessment for my son (10 years old), and l couldn't be more grateful for her friendly and engaging approach. From the start she made him feel completely at ease, creating an environment where he felt comfortable and understood. Her manner was reassuring and patient, and she connected with him in a way that turned what could have been a stressful experience into something positive.
The assessment itself was thoughtfully delivered, and Rachel took the time to explain everything clearly. What really stood out was the positive path forward she offered-practical, encouraging, and tailored to his strengths. We now have a deeper
understanding of his learning profile and also a renewed sense of hope and direction, as school has been getting my son down.
I would highly recommend Rachel to any parent seeking a supportive, professional, and genuinely caring assessor. She made a real difference to us.”

A great article about the value of listening to audiobooks as a valid alternative to reading. Through audiobooks you can experience the same enjoyment of getting lost in a story, following characters journeys and enriching vocabulary. Free apps such as borrow box or listening books make whole library catalogs accessible.

Excellent article validating audiobooks as an alternative form of reading. Enjoying the narrative, developing vocabulary and getting lost in a story are all aspects of reading that can be shared through audiobooks. There are lots of free apps such as borrow box and listening books that have catalogs of free audiobooks to access.
