There are a number of reasons for failing to reach potential, of which specific developmental dyslexia is one. Although we specialise in the assessment and remediation of dyslexia, our educational assessments are aimed at anyone who is underachieving.
The sooner a child is diagnosed, the better the outcome. Good written language depends on mind and body working in unison. Remediation is aimed at correcting any imbalance.
