About me

Jan Crittenden MA AMBDA

Online and face-to-face diagnostic assessment for Dyslexia / Specific Learning Differences (SpLD)

Jan Crittenden MA AMBDA

As an assessor and tutor specialising in Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Differences , I hold a current Assessment Practising Certificate (APC for remote and face-to-face diagnostic assessments.

My diagnostic reports are not just comprehensive but also highly practical, providing tailored, actionable recommendations.

These reports, crafted with meticulous care, are based on my extensive expertise as a specialist tutor in further and higher education and my teaching experience in primary and secondary schools.

They can also include consideration of ADHD in higher education and can be used to apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).

“Jan is a really lovely person who put both my children at ease during their assessments. The whole process was very professional and efficient. … The final reports were very detailed and informative, and were subsequently used at school and university for my children’s access arrangements. The reports have also given us parents really helpful insights into our children’s challenges and how to help them.”

“Jan has been incredibly helpful and understanding in her approach to meet my needs. It has been felt throughout that her knowledge and experience has been used to fit how I learn and has been very effective … I doubt I would have done as well as I have without her help.”
