About me
Welcome to Fearless Dyslexia! I’m Susanna, an APC-accredited Dyslexia Assessor based in Bath, offering face-to-face assessments in Bath, Bristol, and surrounding areas, and online assessments across the UK.I’m passionate about removing the fear often associated with dyslexia and helping individuals and families discover the strengths that come with this different way of thinking.My approach is calm, supportive, and person-centred — every assessment is designed to give you a complete understanding of your learning profile and the confidence to move forward.
If your child is finding learning more effortful than expected — perhaps struggling to remember instructions, organise their work, running out of time or keep up with reading, spelling and/or writing — a dyslexia assessment can help uncover the reasons why and give strategies to support them going forward.Click below to find out more about the asssessment process and costs.
Transitioning to college or university often means juggling new demands — independent study, heavy reading loads, research, note-taking, and deadlines. For some students, dyslexia can make these challenges feel overwhelming.A student dyslexia assessment helps you understand how you learn best and identifies strategies to make study more efficient and less stressful.Click below to find out more about the assessment process and costs

With 20 years of experience in education across both state and private systems, I have served as a class teacher and SENCO before specialising as a Dyslexia Teacher and Assessor.I am a fully SASC registered dyslexia assessor and hold an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC). While the APC is not mandatory, it reflects my commitment to maintaining high standards and staying current with assessment procedures.Because I hold an active APC, my reports confirming a diagnosis of dyslexia can be utilised when applying for Disability Student Allowance (DSA) in higher education. Additionally, I recommend further assessments at different educational stages to adapt to evolving learning needs.
