I am Charlotte Frost (AMBDA/APC), a Specialist Teacher and Assessor with over 20 years of experience in educational strategy and classroom practice. I partner with schools across Essex to move beyond "firefighting" SEN requirements, helping you build a robust, inclusive environment where neurodivergent learners excel.

Why Choose Dyslexia and Education Support?

Schools operate under different pressures than parents—they need compliance, efficiency, and strategic value. When a school chooses Dyslexia and Education Support, they are gaining a partner who understands the high-level requirements of the UK education system.

Here is why schools choose to work with me:

​​

1. Rigorous Professional Compliance

In an era of strict oversight, you need reports that stand up to scrutiny. My qualifications ensure that every assessment I deliver is a robust, legal document.

• AMBDA & APC: I am an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association and hold a current Assessment Practising Certificate with them. I am also a full member of PATOSS.

• SASC Compliant: All diagnostic reports follow the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) guidelines.

• Ready for EAA: My assessments provide the precise evidence needed for Exam Access Arrangements (Form 8s) and Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) applications.

2. A Strategic Partner for SENCOs

I don’t just "drop in and test"; I work alongside your SENCO to support the school’s wider goals.

• Beyond the Label: My reports offer practical, classroom-ready recommendations that align with the Graduated Approach (Assess, Plan, Do, Review).

• Staff Empowerment: I provide clear strategies that TAs and class teachers can implement immediately, helping to upskill your team while supporting the individual learner.

• Data-Informed Decisions: I cross-reference my psychometric testing with your school’s internal data to ensure a "360-degree" view of the student.

3. Efficiency and Reliability

I understand the logistical challenges schools face, from finding quiet spaces to meeting tight deadlines.​

• Flexible Support: Whether you need a one-off assessment for a complex case or a block-booking for a Year 10 cohort's Access Arrangements, I can tailor my services to your budget and timetable.

• Minimal Disruption: I am experienced in working within school environments, ensuring assessments are conducted discreetly and with minimal impact on the school day.

4. Expertise in "Twice-Exceptional" Learners

Schools often struggle with high-potential students who are "coasting" or "masking" their difficulties. I specialise in identifying these learners, ensuring their giftedness is nurtured while their barriers to learning are removed.

5. National Perspective, Local Support

With 20 years of experience in educational strategy and as a national consultant, I bring a broad perspective on "what works." I help schools move from reactive "firefighting" to proactive, inclusive practice that benefits the entire setting.
