My name is Lisa Marsh. I am a specialist assessor providing diagnostic assessments for individuals who may have dyslexia or related learning differences.

My work focuses on helping people gain a clear understanding of their learning profile in a way that is supportive, respectful, and grounded in professional practice.

Professional Background

I have 12 years of experience in educational testing and hold appropriate qualifications to carry out diagnostic assessments and work in line with SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) guidelines. I have a Diploma in Specialist Teaching and Assessment of Literacy-Related Difficulties, hold an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) and am a Member of the Dyslexia Guild.

APC code: 0126/249 Awarded by The Dyslexia Guild

I have worked in multiple secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Merseyside as a mainstream geography teacher and as a Special Needs Coordinator. My experience includes supporting children and young people with a range of learning needs, and understand at first hand the value of assessment in providing understanding, accessing appropriate support and securing reasonable adjustments.

I am committed to providing assessments that are thorough, fair, and clearly explained.

My Approach

I understand that seeking an assessment can feel uncertain or daunting. My approach is to create a calm and supportive environment where you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.

Assessments are conducted carefully and systematically, with time taken to explain each stage and answer any questions you may have.
