Extensive experience across higher education and professional practice
Elizabeth established Dyslexia Assessments UK to offer individuals a calm, respectful, and highly professional assessment environment. Over more than a decade of specialist practice, she has supported hundreds of learners across primary, secondary, higher education, and corporate workplace environments.
Her work in higher education includes assessing university applicants and current undergraduates, as well as providing 1-to-1 specialist study skills support funded through Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). She understands the precise standards required by UK universities, awarding bodies, and occupational support teams.
Elizabeth’s philosophy is rooted in clarity and empowerment: an assessment should not simply label difficulty, but illuminate cognitive strengths, explain processing patterns, and deliver realistic, actionable recommendations for everyday learning and working life.
