Bourne Dyslexia offers in-person child dyslexia assessments across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, with virtual adult assessment options.
For Bournemouth, local context matters: Bournemouth families often need BCP-aware dyslexia assessment options, including in-person child assessment, adult virtual assessment and reports for schools, university or workplace support. 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.
