Dyslexic life with
Jo Rees

I’m Jo Rees, a qualified Dyslexia Assessor, SENCO, Author and Keynote Speaker.

I help dyslexic adults, parents and teachers understand dyslexia with more clarity, confidence and compassion.

How can I help?

Whether you’re an adult trying to understand yourself better, a parent looking for answers for your child, or a teacher wanting to support dyslexic learners with more confidence, I’m here to help you find the next right step.

If you’re a dyslexic adult (or you think you might be)

If you’ve spent years wondering why certain things feel harder than they “should”, I want you to know you’re not alone.

Whether you already know you’re dyslexic or you’re only just starting to explore it, I can help you understand how your brain works, recognise your strengths, and find practical ways to make everyday life, work, study and confidence feel easier.

Support for Adults

If you’re a parent of a dyslexic child

If you think your child may be dyslexic, it can feel really overwhelming knowing where to start.

I can help you understand your child’s needs, explore screening or assessment options, and feel more confident having conversations with school. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Support for Children

If you’re a teacher supporting dyslexic children

Supporting dyslexic learners can make a huge difference to their confidence, progress and self-belief.

I offer training, advice and resources to help you understand dyslexia more deeply and bring practical, dyslexia-friendly strategies into your classroom, so your pupils feel seen, supported and able to thrive.

Support for Teachers

Hi, I’m Jo

 

Qualified Dyslexia Assessor | SENCO | Author | Keynote Speaker | Dyslexic Advocate | Teacher

I’m a qualified Dyslexia Assessor, SENCO, Author, Keynote Speaker and proud dyslexic myself. I’m also mum to three wonderful dyslexic children, so my work is rooted in both professional experience and real life.

Through Dyslexic Life with Jo Rees, I support dyslexic adults, parents, schools and organisations with assessments, advice, training and resources that make dyslexia feel less confusing and a lot more understood.

My goal is simple: to help dyslexic people feel seen, supported and empowered to reach their full potential.

Not sure if it could be dyslexia?

 

Download my free dyslexia checklist and take the first step towards clarity.

If you think your child may be experiencing dyslexia, this free checklist is a great place to start. Adults can use it too if you’re wondering whether dyslexia could explain some of the challenges you’ve experienced.

It won’t give you a diagnosis, but it can help you organise your thoughts, spot common signs, and decide what to do next. That might mean speaking to your child’s teacher about dyslexia screening, exploring support in school, or considering a more in-depth independent dyslexia assessment for yourself or your child.

Pop your details below and I’ll send the checklist straight to your inbox.

Jo was recommended to us by a friend. We are very pleased we booked our child in for an assessment. They can now understand why they find some things so difficult despite always putting in 100% effort to their learning. Thank you Jo.

Debbie Chatfield

Fantastic service, Jo was really helpful and made our daughter feel at ease when she came for her assessment. The report she gave us was incredibly thorough and has really helped us understand how our daughter processes things. I know I can call or message Jo if I have any other concerns or need some advice…would highly recommend!

Molly Whittle

Jo was brilliant with our son, putting him and ease and seeing him for who he is. She is highly knowledgeable and her report detailed and thorough. The aftercare is also helpful and gives the chance to explore further the information given. Would definitely recommend Jo.

Jane Shellard

Jo was absolutely brilliant and provided us with all the information and ideas on the support we would need going forward for our 12 year old daughter whom Jo diagnosed. Jo is very approachable, warm, friendly and engaging and she really put my daughter at ease straight away and provided a full and comprehensive assessment for dyslexia. We would highly recommend Jo if you are requiring a dyslexia assessment for your child

We worked with Jo to promote our study app, Jamworks, to potential students in receipt of the DSA (Disabled Students Allowance). Jo made multiple videos around Jamworks, and added her own opinions and thoughts from her position as an expert, as to how it could aid Dyslexic students to study independently and stress free. Jo was a pleasure to work with, we were very happy with the results in terms of video quality, responsiveness, and ultimately the outcome of the campaign- as well as actively caring about our product and the benefits it could bring to Dyslexic students. Jo also suggested some great ideas such as joint ‘tiktok lives’ which she led, and added a different dynamic to our campaign. We would recommend working with Jo to anyone
