    What are the benefits of having a Dyslexia Assessment?

    Dyslexia, which impacts on the ability to read and write, is a common condition that can have serious implications for educational and career prospects. However, there are many approaches that can mitigate against its effects, and dyslexia sufferers have the legal right to special help in a range of circumstances. The first step towards managing dyslexia well is assessment, and the Private Therapy Clinic can provide cost-effective assessments in person or even via Skype or Facetime, resulting in a detailed report that can be used in representations to institutions such as schools or universities. With the right support, anyone with dyslexia can achieve their best.
