Description
Dyslexia Navigation is included for Stoke-on-Trent families seeking a specialist assessor route where local appointment availability needs checking.
For Stoke-on-Trent, local context matters: Stoke-on-Trent families often need home, school or local assessor options across the six towns, with reports that translate literacy findings into classroom and exam-access recommendations. 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.
