Alyson Dakin provides specialist dyslexia assessment and support services in Leicestershire and the East Midlands, including online options.
For Leicester, local context matters: Leicester families often need dyslexia and SpLD reports that fit local school support, Leicestershire SEND processes, DSA, exam access and workplace adjustment 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.
