Run by Seth and Delia Gascoigne of the Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic

Delia and Seth Gascoigne are two fully qualified, experienced Specialist Assessors offering holistic face-to-face Full Diagnostic Assessments

​

How we work:​

• We believe the assessment process should be engaging and child centred so that students feel comfortable and relaxed in a friendly home from home environment

• We ensure parents/carers are provided with a full, detailed explaination of the assessment outcome. As there are two of us, we are able to score the tests and offer this face-to-face consultation and diagnosis immediately following testing

• We also explain to every student their strengths and 'not so strengths', whether they are dyslexic, and what it means to be dyslexic in an age-appropriate, uplifting and empowering way​

• We believe it is important for there to be liaison between the Assessor and the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) and a call is organised to discuss findings and next steps​

• Our reports are a 'working document', heavy rich in practical recommendations for home, in school and for any outside of school support

• We can refer you on to qualified Specialist Teachers, who offer intervention lessons across multiple subjects​

• We can provide ongoing advice and support where necessary, by phone or email, post assessment
   

 

​​Access Arrangements

​​

Delia and Seth work both in schools and privately to assess students for additional time for their GCSE and A Level exams. Access Arrangements are offered to those students in Year 9 to 13.  We have working relationships with many of the secondary schools and colleges in North London.
