A diagnosis doesn't change who a child is but it does help everyone understand them better.

Whether a child has ADHD, dyslexia, or both, they may hear far more criticism than encouragement because of behaviours and learning differences outside their control.

The right understanding, support, and timely assessment can make all the difference to their confidence, wellbeing, and future success.

Dyslexia runs in families — and science is beginning to understand why.

Research shows that dyslexia has a significant heritable component. If a parent or sibling has dyslexia, a child's risk increases substantially. Scientists have identified several genes that appear to influence how the brain processes language and develops the neural pathways needed for reading.

This isn't fatalism — it's opportunity. A family history of reading difficulties is one of the most important early risk factors we have. Knowing it allows parents, pediatricians, and educators to watch for signs and act early.

TDF's Scientific Advisory Board has been at the forefront of the genetics of dyslexia research for decades.

Summer assessments need to be booked in over the next couple of weeks to ensure that school have enough time to fill in background information on your child or young person. This is a key part of the diagnostic process.

So, if you are thinking of booking an assessment for over the summer holidays then get in touch soon!

As a qualified Specialist Teacher Assessor, I provide comprehensive dyslexia assessments that help children, parents and schools understand why learning can feel challenging and, more importantly, what can be done to help.

A diagnostic assessment can provide answers, build confidence and open the door to the right support and interventions.
