Discovery Calls
Not sure what your or your child's needs might be - or what to do next?
Wherever you live, a Discovery Call gives you up to 30 minutes to talk things through with an assessor with around 25 years' experience.
A Discovery Call might be helpful if:
you're wondering whether dyslexia or other neurodiversity could explain some of the challenges you're seeing
you're unsure what type of professional or assessment you need
you'd like to talk things through before committing to the cost of a full assessment
you have questions about assessments or diagnoses, even if you don't intend to book an assessment with me
you'd like advice about GCSE exam access arrangements, such as extra time
How long is a Discovery Call and what does it involve?
A Discovery Call lasts up to 30 minutes and takes place over Zoom. It's simply a friendly but focused conversation, giving you space to explain your concerns, ask questions and get a clearer idea of your next steps.
There are no questionnaires or screening forms to complete beforehand and I won't write a report afterwards. However, you're welcome to take notes and I may follow up by email with useful information, links to other professionals or details about booking an assessment if appropriate.
What does a Discovery Call cost and how do I book?
A Discovery Call costs £40 and this is paid by credit or debit card when booking. If you go on to book a full diagnostic assessment with me within 6 months, £25 of this will be deducted from the assessment cost.
If you'd like to go ahead and book a Discovery Call, you can access my diary by clicking on the button below, choose your date/time and make the payment. You'll receive an email notification as well as a link to the Zoom call. The calendar usually shows only the available slots in the next 2-3 weeks.
