Testimonials
"We feel a real sense of relief that our daughter is now able to reduce her frustration and anxiety by having a better understanding of methods of learning that will work best for her and why some things have been a challenge in the past. We have lots of positive ideas/tools that appear to be easily implemented with the correct support to make learning more enjoyable and achievable. Many Thanks."

"Honestly I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. Professional from start to end, the whole process felt easy and most importantly my son was comfortable and at ease. The report was very thorough and helped myself and others understand his way of learning. I would definitely recommend your services and just wish I had done it sooner."

"It can be quite a nerve wracking experience for an adult, but Aimee seems to know this and created an atmosphere in the room that was very calm. She’s quite tactful and her questions were easy to understand. Would recommend her services 100%."
Adult assessment
"I didn't know what to expect but was reassured by the clear instructions and information provided throughout. I enjoyed the assessment and was very grateful for the subsequent report and advice. The diagnosis has, and will, make a huge difference to me - personally and professionally. Thank you so much!"
Adult assessment
"I experienced a very professional and compassionate approach by Aimee to the assessment of my son. She gave a helpful feedback session and comprehensive report which we were able to share with the school. My son found Aimee easy to engage with and enjoyed the assessment session with her. I would recommend Aimee to any parents who are seeking an assessment to understand and support their child’s needs within an education setting."
