Helen and Jeanette founded Dyslexia Test Centre in 2022, bringing more than 20 years of teaching experience and lived experience of undiagnosed neurodivergence.
We know the difference it can make when someone takes your concerns seriously. That is why we listen before recommending an assessment, explain the findings clearly and help you plan what comes next.
I had my 8 year old son assessed with dyslexia test centre a while ago and he is still reaping the benefits of the knowledge everyone has gained in how he learns best and what is holding him back from reaching his potential. I couldn’t be happier with the process, they were so helpful and friendly and the patience and understanding given towards my son who struggles to focus and worries about reading as he finds it difficult was exceptional.
My son has realised that he is capable of so much more than he thought if learning is centred around the way he processes the most efficiently.
School have taken the lengthy and detailed report on board happily and are also enjoying watching Lennie progress and even enjoy reading which I couldn’t have imagined before. The cognitive assessment also shows that it’s not always intelligence that makes it harder for some to learn the mainstream way but certain barriers that can be removed or reduced. This I feel is important for my child to know both now and in the future so as to protect his self esteem and motivation to succeed. I am so grateful for the service provided as it will set my son up well for his future and is helping me and him so much already by pinpointing and prioritising how he can best be supported x
I had a great experience with Helen and Jeanette at DTC. From an initial call to a final report and diagnosis, the process was complete within a month. They were both very accommodating to my work schedule and sensitive about my anxiety regarding the entire process. The process of the assessment itself was explained very well and tailored to my needs.
The diagnosis isn’t just a description of you, it is an in depth analysis of how you think and work. They also provided lots of resources to help me work better in my day to day life and understand how I work. The assessment was transformative and although I was reluctant to start, I am very happy that I took the leap. I would recommend anyone considering to take the first step and based on my experience I would highly recommend working with Helen and Jeanette at DTC.
Excellent service from start to finish. Both Helen and Jeanette were happy to discuss any questions I had before booking the assessment, were incredibly knowledgeable and really put me at ease with what had felt like a bit of a daunting process.
The assessment was a very smooth process, Helen was really approachable and I think my son actually enjoyed doing it!
We have a thorough report now that we can share with the school and a wide range of strategies that we can use at home for years to come. It's been invaluable, thank you.
Right from the initial consultation, Helen at the Dyslexia Test Centre was so reassuring and put our 10 year old at ease. The communication throughout has been excellent. The actual assessment was completed online and was done in such a way that allowed our daughter to have comfort breaks as needed. Helen worked hard to establish a really positive relationship with our child and made the process as fun as possible. The report is comprehensive and gives recommendations. Would highly recommend using this company. Thank you for your prompt responses and making the whole assessment process less daunting.
A very lovely company, with great support and friendly staff. They have helped me feel understood and supported in every way possible. Could not recommend them enough!
Helen and Jeanette have been super helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. I had lots of questions and these were always answered quickly.
Helen completed the assessment with my son and put him at ease. The detailed report followed within 2 weeks and any amendments that needed making were done so efficiently.
My son is 8 and we haven't told him yet he is dsylexic as he is a worrier and we were concerned he may not understand. I was very impressed when Helen emailed us a letter for Hunter and an e-book to explain his diagnosis to him.
Even after the assessment and reports DTC have offered support and various tools to help our son.
It was a great experience throughout, starting with the initial phone call, assessment and questions afterwards. Jeanette and Helen, where fantastic and took their time to answer all the questions I had. It's given me a sense of relief, to better understand why I've always found certain tasks challenging. Looking forward I can use the findings and recommendations to help me approach tasks differently and means I can now ask for help when needed, when before I wouldn't have.
We were very impressed by the service we received from Helen at the Dyslexia Test Centre. She responded to our initial query quickly and was able to assess our daughter shortly after. The assessment was very thorough and Helen was extremely professional, while also putting our daughter at ease - not necessarily an easy task when on zoom! Helen produced a comprehensive report quickly and has provided great recommendations for us going forward. Highly recommended, thank you!
I would like to thank Helen for making the whole process around assessing the sensitive nature of my daughters learning difficulties so positive.
The dtc website is clear, informative and user friendly. The assessment was very thorough with pre-assessment questionnaires completed by parents and teachers. A detailed written report was easy to undestand and gave lots of helpful advice for supporting my daughters needs, that I could share with her school. The whole process has had a huge positive impact on my daughter. She now undestands why she finds areas of her school work more difficult and feels more positive about going to school and is keen to learn.
Helen has been fantastic with helping support for my child. Helen recently tested my youngest for dyslexia, the report was fantastic, in-depth and thorough with clear recommendation, and made my child feel at ease whilst testing. Helen goes above and beyond and is passionate about children getting the support they deserve. So lucky to have found Helen, she helped my eldest attend a specialist dyslexic which has changed their life and now putting support in place for my youngest. Helen is happy to answer any questions and concerns I have. Highly recommend.
Understanding your results is the beginning. We help you turn recommendations into practical next steps.
One parent told us their child’s school used the report to better understand how their child learns. They described seeing their child make progress and start to enjoy reading.
