Description
Dyslexia West Midlands covers Birmingham, Solihull, Walsall, Dudley and the wider West Midlands with face-to-face and remote assessments.
For Birmingham, local context matters: Birmingham families often need dyslexia assessment routes that can support school SENCO planning, exam access, DSA and workplace adjustments across a very large city. 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.
