Highly recommended
After initial nervousness, my child soon relaxed into the assessment process. Emily was extremely good at putting my child at ease and was very intuitive, knowing when a break was needed or if the assessment had become stressful. By the end of the assessment my child was tired but felt confident that they had given their best. When asked, they confirmed that they would be very happy to see Emily again if needed.
The report has been extremely helpful for my child. Not only has it given us as parents a better understanding of their needs, it is also helped my child to understand the reasons behind their particular struggles at school and in life in general.
The report has enabled my child to move forward in a really positive way and feel their potential with better self understanding. The report has been an extremely helpful tool in ensuring that my child’s needs are met at their current school placement. It has given me the wear with all to have detailed discussions about exactly what my child needs. The report has been extremely helpful in gaining the exam concessions that my child requires to succeed to their full potential.
My child has felt an overwhelming sense of relief to get this diagnosis at long last.
For many years they have wondered why they have struggled whilst other children in their class have found the acquisition of basic skills so much easier.
It has reassured my child that they are not ‘stupid’ And has enabled them to develop a greater resilience so that the many challenges such a learning difficulty can cause, can now be conquered. Gaining this report has had a positive impact on my child’s self-esteem. Sharing extracts of this report with my child has greatly helped them to come to terms with their difficulties and we are truly grateful to Emily for bringing together so many different elements from early childhood and education to help create a clear and concise picture of learning needs and appropriate provision from this point forward.
If your child is struggling at school despite being apparently bright and able, I would highly recommend a full assessment from Emily. It really has opened up a rise to the different needs that our child has, but more importantly it has empowered us and our child to put strategies and provision in place to help them flourish at school. It has also had a positive impact on our home life as we are now able to accommodate our child’s needs more effectively at home and, they intern feel more supported by us. Emily is professional manner has impressed us from start to finish. She was extremely good at putting our child at ease and this enabled a much clearer picture of their learning needs to emerge. We can’t thank Emily enough for the amazing work she has done helping our child on their educations journey.

Made to feel comfortable
Emily was keen to create a relaxed and positive environment when assessing our daughter. As a result our daughter was not stressed or anxious in any way and genuinely enjoyed the time spent with Emily.
As parents we have never been through the process of assessing a child before so we didn't know what to expect. The outcome of the report has meant that we are more knowledgeable about our daughters needs, who to contact for more support and what to expect now that we are liaising much more closely with the school. Ultimately this all helps and supports our daughter so much more as she navigates her way through school
Our daughter has mixed emotions about her diagnosis. She does not want to be any different from her classmates so this does cause some upset. However, now that she knows that she needs help with certain areas of school life, she has embraced it and really does enjoy the small group work away from the larger class. Her diagnosis has highlighted the importance of positive reinforcement and we are working with her on her confidence
Our experience of having an assessment has been a tremendously positive one. Emily is kind, caring, incredibly knowledgeable and very patient. She always makes time to answer our many questions. The most important quality Emily has is making the child feel comfortable with her so that she is able to conduct a thorough assessment of that child.

Would definitely recommend
I found the assessment process to be casual, relaxed, efficient and comphrensive all at the same time. Emily was very nurturing, professional and very easy to get along with. My assessment lasted over 4 hours and Emily was supportive and encouraging throughout.
I have used Emily’s report as evidence to support my claim for disability with the Open University. On a personal note the report has made my dyslexia real. I will use the report to make sure that I get the support that I need.Initially I was overwhelmed and upset by my diagnosis even though I knew that I was dyslexic. These feeling have passed and I am now able to fully embrace my neurodiversity in my workplace.
I would definitely recommend Emily 0-)

Emily was incredibly attentive to my needs, she put me at ease and reminded me about taking breaks if I needed to, which really helped.
The report has helped me in ways I didn't think it would. It has brought a lot of clarity not only about my, needs but in terms of who I am as a person. It has validated a lot of things for me and has given me a new outlook on how and why I need help, and has reassured me that I'm entitled to the help that I ask from others without any form of judgment.
I burst into tears of relief when I read my report. Having validation that my struggles are real, and now having a breakdown as to how and why is already helping me take steps forward into seeking ways that I can manage my difficulties.
