Welcome to Yorkshire Wolds Dyslexia Service

At YWDS, I believe that a child's learning profile is more than just a label. Every learner has a unique cognitive fingerprint, and sometimes the traditional classroom 'fit' isn't enough to showcase what each child is truly capable of.

As a dyslexia specialist, I look beyond the surface of reading and writing. With my training, I can dive into the mechanics of learning — from phonological processing and working memory to the complex world of executive function. My goal isn't just to identify challenges, but to provide a roadmap to success.
