Description
Dyslexia Cardiff is based in Cardiff and provides assessment and guidance for adults and children concerned about literacy progress.
For Cardiff, local context matters: Cardiff families need dyslexia and SpLD reports that make sense within Welsh ALN and IDP planning as well as university, DSA, exam access and workplace routes. 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.
