About Kent Dyslexia

What if the struggles holding you back at school or work aren’t “laziness” or “lack of effort” – but undiagnosed dyslexia?

  • Kent Dyslexia: Expert in-person assessments across Kent and the South East – in your home or at our base near Folkestone, at your pace.
  • Dyslexia UK (our sister company): Nationwide remote assessments – wherever you are in the UK.

We’re on a mission: specific learning difficulties should NEVER stop anyone from thriving.

Our passionate, highly qualified assessors deliver gold-standard dyslexia and dyscalculia screenings – face-to-face in Kent or online across the UK –helping children, students, and adults unlock confidence, secure support, and build the successful, happy lives they deserve.
