Description
Derbyshire Dyslexia Centre provides dyslexia assessments and SEND advice for young people, with a school-facing approach for Derby and Derbyshire families.
For Derby, local context matters: Derby families often want dyslexia reports that can support school planning, exam access discussions, transition points and SEND evidence across Derby and Derbyshire schools. Families and adults should confirm whether the assessor holds an Assessment Practising Certificate or appropriate psychologist registration, whether the report follows SASC guidance, and whether it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
