New term, new timetable, new teachers... and maybe the same old struggle.

If the first week back has already brought signs you recognise (the homework battles, the tears over reading, the "I just can't do it" before they've even tried), it might be worth asking why.

A dyslexia assessment doesn't just confirm a label. It gives you and your child real answers, and a plan for the year ahead.

Five small things that can make the first week back easier, especially for a child who finds school hard:

1️⃣ Talk through the new timetable together so nothing feels like a surprise
2️⃣ Lay out uniform and bag the night before, one less decision in the morning
3️⃣ Keep the first week's bedtime consistent, tiredness makes everything harder
4️⃣ Ask what they are looking forward to, not just what they are worried about
5️⃣ Remind them that a slow start is normal, not a sign anything is wrong
If this transition feels harder than it should for your child, a dyslexia assessment could explain why.
"Her report was thorough, easy to understand and detailed in how schools, and us, could support our son." One parent said that after their son's assessment.

Save this for the next school report 💛

If your child’s end-of-year report has phrases that feel like a polite version of “something isn’t right”, this one is for you.

School reports are written carefully. Often what isn’t said is as important as what is. Phrases like “verbal contributions are excellent” sitting alongside “ideas are strong but writing lets her down” are clues. Real ones.

These gaps, between effort and outcome, between verbal ability and written work, are some of the most common signals that dyslexia might be part of your child’s picture. Not always. But often enough to be worth a proper look.

You don’t need to wait for school to flag it. You don’t need a referral.

If something here felt familiar, send me a message. We’ll have a free, no-pressure chat and work out whether an assessment makes sense for your family.

Three things parents often notice long before school does:
1. The gap between how they talk and how they write.
Rich, funny, articulate in conversation. Then sparse, hesitant, or jumbled on the page. That gap matters.
2. The exhaustion that doesn’t match the day.
School ends and they’re wrung out. Not from playing. From holding it together. Dyslexic children work harder than anyone realises just to keep up.
3. The self-talk that’s started to creep in.
“I’m rubbish at this.” “Everyone else gets it.” “I’m just stupid.” When a child starts narrating themselves this way, it’s worth listening closely.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not imagining it. And you’re not overreacting.
Send me a message anytime. We can talk it through, no pressure. 💛

Could it be dyslexia? Save this if it feels familiar 💛
If you’ve ever wondered whether dyslexia might be part of your child’s story, this is for you. Swipe through for the signs to look out for, by age.
Dyslexia rarely shouts. It whispers. Through the homework that takes hours, the bright child who comes home defeated, the spelling that doesn’t match the thinking. By the time the patterns are obvious to school, families have often been quietly worrying for years.
You don’t have to wait for school to notice. You don’t need a referral. You just need someone who can give you proper, professional answers.
If a few of these felt familiar, send me a message. We’ll have a free, no-pressure chat and I’ll help you work out whether an assessment is the right next step.

A little about me, on a rare sunny Sunday in Manchester 👋
I’m dyslexic. I spent most of my school years working twice as hard as my classmates for half the reward, never quite understanding why. Years of avoiding reading aloud, finding ways around long essays, knowing my results never quite reflected what I was actually capable of.
I was 21 when I was formally diagnosed. Facing my final dissertation at university, years of adapting, building strategies, finding ways through, and finally an explanation for all of it.
When I got my answers, everything shifted. Not because anything about me changed, but because I finally had language for what I was experiencing.
That’s what I want for every child I assess. Not a label. An explanation that opens doors.
If you’re wondering whether an assessment might help your child, send me a DM. We’ll have a chat. No pressure at all.

There are three things I hear ALL the time when I'm chatting with parents about dyslexia. And honestly? Most of them are wrong.

"My child can't be dyslexic, they're really clever."
Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence. Some of the brightest, most creative children I assess are dyslexic. Their brains just process language differently.

"It's only about reading though, isn't it?"
This one trips up so many parents (and even some teachers). Dyslexia affects spelling, writing, working memory, organisation, even how a child follows multi-step instructions. Reading is just the most visible bit.

"They'll grow out of it eventually."
I really, really wish this were true. The truth is, dyslexia stays with you for life. But here's the good news, with the right tools, the right understanding, and a bit of self-belief, dyslexic children absolutely thrive. I'd know. I'm one of them.

If any of that sounded a bit like your child, please don't keep wondering. Drop me a message and let's have a chat. No pressure, no obligation, just a conversation between us.
