Dear Wendy,

Thank you so much for the report you did for my son. It is extremely helpful and hopefully will help him enormously in his future education. It is exactly what we were hoping for. The whole process has been far less stressful than we expected prior to contacting you.

Thank you again,

Christine (Mother of HE student assessed for DSA application)

Wendy Paris has provided a top class service for my 17 year old daughter, Charlotte who was assessed and found to be dyslexic by Wendy in December 2017. I encountered an administrative problem trying to secure my daughter the additional exam time recommended at her sixth form college. With just a phone call, Wendy sent me copies of the needed Form 8 and I’ve been able to quickly get Charlotte the extra exam time she needs in her Year 12 exams this summer. I am extremely grateful for Wendy’s prompt support and her continuing interest in supporting my daughter. Tracey Flannery (Mother of yr 12 pupil)

Having the courage to undertake an assessment was really important but the fear of the unknown took over. Eventually I decided that it was the best option and I have never looked back. I feel a lot better now knowing where my strengths and weaknesses lie. You made me feel comfortable and accepted for who I am.

Thanks, Meg ( dyslexic 23 year old)

Thank you so much for this very detailed and support suggesting report. I will send it to the SENCO and then arrange a meeting with her. I was hoping to find some kind of ‘silver lining’ regarding Nicky’s potential and ability and his Visual ability scores are amazing. Listing what he struggles with is the ‘easy’ part in some ways. I want School to be confirmed in the view that he has severe dyslexia (not moderate) and that he has hidden abilities which they need to know about. I think there is much I can now do to set about supporting him better and I now have a highly diagnostic report with professional recommendations to back up my defence of his rights at school.

Thank you so much,

( Mother of 10 year old)
