Testimonials
What my clients have to say about working with me.
“I contacted Laura after reading some reviews, we wanted to have our daughter tested and Laura made the whole process, easy for us and our daughter. She was professional in everyway, i cannot recommend her enough.”
“I will like to thank Laura for her support and recommendations she share with us for our son. We have been able to implement most of the recommendations Laura suggested for our son and he is now learning at his own pace and getting use to all his learning support. I will recommend This is Dyslexia to any parents that I know their child mighty be struggling or has concerns about their child learning. Thank you so much.”
"The communication before and after the assessment was good and I had quick responses to my questions. My son was a little worried before the assessment, but was soon put at ease and came away happy. The written report was detailed and has been a great help to put the recommended strategies into place at his school. I would highly recommend."
