DYSLEXIA
SOUTH EAST
Specialist Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Support in East Sussex & Kent
We provide dyslexia assessments in Hawkhurst and nearby areas including Cranbrook, Benenden, Sandhurst, Goudhurst, Flimwell, Wadhurst, Staplehurst and Tenterden.
At Dyslexia South East, we support children and young people who are experiencing difficulties with literacy, working memory, processing speed, or concentration. Our comprehensive diagnostic assessments are completed in line with current SASC guidance by fully qualified specialist assessors.
Many families contact us when reading and spelling are not progressing as expected, while others are seeking clarity to better understand their child’s learning profile. Our assessments provide clear, detailed recommendations that can be shared with schools and are recognised by educational settings and examination boards.
Sessions take place by prior appointment in a quiet, supportive environment designed to help each child feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.
