Struggling with Resources and Expertise?
We Can Help

Many schools and colleges face tight budgets and limited specialist knowledge around dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. Leaders and SENDCos often feel unsupported in navigating the SEND policy landscape. We bridge that gap - bringing expert insight, fresh clarity, and practical strategies right into your institution.

Tailored Solutions Supporting Primary Schools

We work with primary schools to support dyslexic learners and those facing literacy or numeracy difficulties, bringing specialist expertise directly into the classroom. Our support includes screening and diagnostic assessments for dyslexia, alongside specialist coaching for pupils with literacy challenges or a dyslexic profile. 

We also provide practical training to help teachers create dyslexia-friendly classrooms and deliver tailored support and training for SENDCos. For school leaders, we offer guidance on navigating the evolving SEND policy environment, while staff can benefit from Inset sessions covering dyslexia, the new SEND Code of Practice, differentiation, and neurodiversity.

Supporting Secondary Schools

In secondary schools, our services extend from dyslexia screening and diagnosis through to practical training on supporting students with literacy difficulties and ensuring classrooms are dyslexia-friendly. 

We offer Form 8 completion and exam access arrangement support, along with specialist teaching for students with a dyslexic profile. SENDCos receive dedicated training and guidance, while school leaders benefit from expert advice on meeting SEND policy requirements. 

We also provide staff training on exam access arrangements, as well as bespoke training tailored to the specific needs of each school.

I booked a dyslexia test earlier this year and was in a rush to meet my universities deadline. Dyslexia West Midlands were very considerate about the time pressure due to my deadline and I received my report much quicker than estimated. The test was carried out professionally and in a comfortable environment. I highly recommend if you are considering getting a dyslexia test.

Our son had been struggling academically, socially and emotionally at school. The team have been so patient with him and employed many different strategies to enable him learn at his own level. Suzanne came in to do an observation on him at school and provided  a detailed report to the school, suggesting many strategies the school could try to enable him to access his learning more effectively, maintain concentration for longer and generally be happier at school.

I can't praise Suzanne and her team highly enough; very professional but with a relaxed manner which creates a great atmosphere for our 9 year old son to learn in.

After a discussion through a free consultation we decided to get my daughter assessed. The process was very simple and the report was very thorough. My daughter now feels more confident and happy in her approach to learning and school. Thanks Dyslexia West Midlands.

Ulrike Nichols

I only called to get more information because my daughter (year 4) really struggles with spelling. Suzanne asked a number of very precise questions and suggested to do a vision test. Now my daughter has glasses and seems much more confident. We will see how that might affect her spelling but I would never have known that she might be struggling with  her vision. Thank you so much! I am beyond grateful.
