Professional Accreditation
Full diagnostic dyslexia assessments carried out by Coast Education give a government recognised and formal diagnosis. Reports are accepted by Student Finance England for Disabled Students' Applications and by the DWP for Access to Work applications. They are recognised and accepted by schools and colleges, and as proof for EHCP applications to LEA's. We also carry out comprehensive dyslexia and dyscalculia (maths) screenings remotely.

Meet
Denise
I am Denise, the Coast Education dyslexia assessor. I have been a specialist teacher and dyslexia assessor for over 20 years. I am passionate about the assessments I carry out, as I know first-hand what a big difference they make. Children and adults I assess get the support they need, which improves achievement and self-esteem.
My full diagnostic assessment reports have been complimented by Patoss. They go above and beyond to identify individual needs and give tailored and extensive recommendations. As a specialist assessor who also works in schools, I only give recommendations that are practical and work in a real-life situation, such as in the classroom, or at home. Once you have had your assessment at Coast Education, we are always here for you.
As I hold a current Assessment Practising Certificate(APC) from Patoss, full diagnostic assessments I carry out give a formal life-long diagnosis. My certificate status can be viewed on the SASC website. I also hold a clear and full live DBS. If you would like to see this, please ask. When you come for an assessment, I will show you my DBS, full ID (passport) and my APC.
As well as an APC, I also hold a Master’s degree (MA) and Batchelor’s degree (BA Hons) in Education, as well as Qualified Teacher and Assessor Status. I have post-graduate certificates in Dyslexia (Sp.LD) and School Behaviour Management.
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning disability that mostly impairs the ability to read and write. However, it has an impact on more than just these abilities. Dyslexia is an information processing disorder. Dyslexics may have trouble understanding and retaining what they see and hear, which can interfere with learning and literacy development. Dyslexia can also affect other aspects of a person's life, such as organizational abilities.
