Assessments tailored to your needs
Dyslexia Assessment
A full diagnostic assessment for children (from age 6), young people and adults. You’ll receive a SASC-compliant report with a clear diagnosis and personalised recommendations for education, work and daily life.
ADHD Educational Assessment
An in-depth educational assessment identifying how ADHD traits affect your learning, work and daily life. Suitable for DSA applications, workplace adjustments and supporting a medical referral.
Workplace Assessment
A diagnostic assessment focused on the workplace, with recommendations for reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 and guidance on applying for Access to Work support.
Dyspraxia Assessment
A specialist assessment for adults who may have dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder), exploring how it affects coordination, organisation and daily functioning.
Report turnaround: every assessment includes a full SASC-compliant report within 2 weeks as standard. If you have an urgent deadline — exam access arrangements, a DSA application or a workplace review — an express 1-week turnaround is available for £550.
A personal service, not a production line
Choosing the right assessor matters. Here’s what makes my practice different.
One Assessor, Start to Finish
From your very first phone call to the final follow-up after your report, you’ll be working with me — not an admin team, not a rotating panel of assessors, not whoever’s free that week. Continuity matters, and it’s the heart of how I work.
Reports Written for You
Your report isn’t generated from a template. It’s written specifically for you, with recommendations tailored to your situation — and to the people who’ll read it next.
Direct, Personal Contact
Phone, WhatsApp, text or email — you’ll always reach me directly. Every assessment includes a follow-up call to talk through your report and answer any questions.
Reports in 2 Weeks
Most providers quote four to eight weeks for a SASC-compliant report. Mine arrive within 2 weeks as standard — or 1 week with the express tier — because I write each one personally rather than waiting in a clinical queue.
Fair, Transparent Pricing
An independent specialist practice means lower overheads — and savings I pass on to you. The same SASC standards as larger providers, at a lower price, with no hidden extras.
Meet Sally Simmons
I have over 15 years’ experience providing specialist assessments for dyslexia, ADHD and other specific learning difficulties across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.
I’m a qualified teacher with experience as a SENDCO in both special education and mainstream schools. I hold AMBDA, a current Assessment Practising Certificate from the British Dyslexia Association, and I’m a member of both PATOSS and The Dyslexia Guild — meaning my reports meet the highest standards set by SASC.
As the parent of a dyslexic son, I understand first-hand how learning difficulties affect individuals and families. My focus is always on identifying strengths in each person, enabling them to reach their potential.
My reports are clear, accessible and genuinely useful — written to empower you, not overwhelm you.
