Testimonials
'Our experience with Naomi was top notch. Naomi fully explained what was going to happen regarding the testing and the reporting of the outcome. Following receipt of the lengthy report I then had the opportunity to discuss the findings in a relaxed quiet environment.' (Nicola, Bristol)
'Leaving the children with Naomi is nerve-racking at first (for the parents) but they come out with a big smile on their faces as the assessment is interspersed with games and fun.' (Carolynne, Bristol)
'My son didn't really know or understand that he was going for an assessment, he said he could have spent all day there, he loved it even though he did have to work hard!' (Jenny, Bristol)
'Following a full assessment and long report from Naomi, she has been fantastic at explaining the report and helping get the right help to support my son's learning needs.' (Julie, Bristol)
'The assessment took 2.5 hours and Naomi managed to keep my daughter, who suffers from ADHD and anxiety attacks, engaged and happy throughout. When I collected her the response I had from my daughter was, "it was fun". The report I received from Naomi was professional and informative. Naomi arranged a meeting to discuss the report where she made excellent recommendations on how to improve my daughters learning, along with suggestions we can pass on to my daughters new school.' (Mandi, Bristol)
