Description
Jenny O'Shea provides dyslexia support and assessment services in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
For Edinburgh, local context matters: Edinburgh families often need dyslexia reports that work for Scottish schools, university disability support, DSA, exam arrangements and workplace adjustment routes. Families and adults should confirm whether the assessor holds appropriate dyslexia assessment credentials, whether the report follows relevant UK or Scottish guidance, and whether it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
