Hi, I’m Charlotte Frost. I am an Essex-based Specialist Dyslexia Consultant (AMBDA/APC Holder) dedicated to ensuring no learner is left behind. I understand that navigating the world of SEN can feel like a maze. Whether you are at the start of the journey or looking for specific exam support, I provide a "360-degree" roadmap—from the first diagnostic lightbulb moment to practical classroom wins.

 

How I Can Help Your Family

​

I move beyond just providing a report; I provide a path forward. My goal is to find the "why" behind the struggle and turn it into a strategy for success.

​

Finding the Right Starting Point

​

• Dyslexia Screening (Approx. 30 mins): A quick, low-pressure "first look". This is ideal if you have concerns but aren't ready for a full diagnosis. It identifies "red flags" and indicates if further investigation is needed.

• Educational Attainment Assessment (60–90 mins): A snapshot of your child’s current skills in literacy and maths. This identifies specific learning gaps and shows if a child is working at, above, or below age-related expectations. It’s a fantastic indicator of whether a full dyslexia assessment is the next logical step.

​

 

Specialist & Advanced Support

• Full Diagnostic Assessments (3-4 hours): Clear, empathetic, and comprehensive sessions that identify a child's unique learning profile and provide a formal diagnosis where appropriate.

• Gifted & "Twice-Exceptional" Assessments (3–4 hours): Specialised deep-dive assessments for high-potential children who may also be struggling with hidden learning barriers (Dual or Multiple Exceptionality).

• Bespoke Specialist Tuition: Targeted, evidence-based support designed to build core literacy skills alongside vital self-confidence.

• Expert Advocacy: I help you translate professional jargon and diagnostic reports into actionable, "classroom-ready" support and school accommodations.

 

Which path is right for your child?

Every journey is different. If you aren't sure whether you need a quick Screener or a Full Diagnostic Assessment, I’m happy to have a brief chat to help you decide.

Why Work With Me?

​

At Dyslexia and Education Support, I offer a unique "360-degree" perspective. I’ve sat on both sides of the desk: as a specialist teacher and national consultant, and as a mother navigating the SEN system for my own four children.

​

Here is why parents choose to work with me:

1. A Personal, "Kitchen Table" Understanding

I know exactly what it feels like to watch a bright, frustrated child struggle with a simple reading task. I understand the anxiety of the "school run" and the complexity of the SEN maze. When we work together, you aren't just getting a clinician; you are getting a peer who knows the emotional reality of supporting a neurodivergent learner.

2. An Anxiety-Free Assessment Experience

For a child who already feels "behind," a formal assessment can feel daunting. I go to great lengths to make sure the session feels like a series of "brain puzzles" rather than a high-stakes test:

• Paced for Your Child: We build in as many breaks as needed to keep energy high.

• A Calm Environment: My approach is gentle and encouraging, ensuring your child feels relaxed enough to show their true potential.

• Focus on Strengths: I make sure every child leaves the session feeling capable and understood, not "broken."

3. Specialist Tuition That Rebuilds Confidence

My tuition isn't just "more reading and writing." It is multisensory, structured, and cumulative.

• Beyond Literacy: While we work on core skills, we also focus on the "emotional side" of learning—rebuilding the self-esteem that often gets bruised in a traditional classroom.

• Empowerment: I teach your child to understand how their brain works, giving them the tools to advocate for themselves as they grow.

4. A Roadmap, Not Just a Report

A 30-page technical report is only useful if you know what to do with it. I specialise in translating professional jargon into practical, actionable steps.

• For Home: Easy-to-use strategies to support learning without the tears.

• For School: Clear, evidence-based recommendations that teachers can actually implement.

5. Gold-Standard Professionalism

You can have total peace of mind that your child’s assessment meets the highest national standards.

• I am an Associate Member of both the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA), full member of PATOSS and hold a valid Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).

• My reports follow SASC guidelines, making them legally robust documents recognised by schools, colleges, and for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) applications.

​

My Mission: Dyslexia isn’t a barrier to success; it’s simply a different way of processing the world. My job is to give your child the tools to thrive.
