Assessment, intervention and school support

Learning Needs Assessment £300 · ages 6–15

Standardised, psychometric assessments help identify barriers to learning in school and enable intervention to be targeted effectively to your child's needs and abilities.

An LNA takes approximately two hours and enables me to hypothesise why your child might have difficulty with progress, attainment, achievement or attendance. You receive a report detailing your child's strengths and areas for development, an analysis of barriers to learning, and recommendations and strategies to make learning more accessible. It does not offer a diagnosis.

Areas assessed (depending on age)

• Memory
• Phonological awareness
• Processing speed
• Reading
• Writing
• Handwriting
• Comprehension
• Expressive & receptive language

1-1 Literacy Intervention £50/hour · ages 7–16

Standard, evidence-based intervention for children experiencing literacy difficulties: 1-to-1, hour-long sessions that are cumulative, individually tailored, structured and multi-sensory, using the DALP framework with children aged 7–16.

What the DALP covers

The DALP framework focuses on phonemic awareness, coding subskills (syllable types and grapheme–phoneme correspondence), punctuation and syntax, suffixing, coding attack patterns, and metacognition — helping a learner understand how they think and learn.
