Our Services
At Elmhurst Education, we offer a range of tailored services to assess and support children, provide invaluable guidance to parents, and forge strong partnerships with schools. Clients have the flexibility to opt for a one-off assessment or guidance session, while others may choose to engage in multiple sessions and assessments over several years to ensure comprehensive and ongoing support on their child's educational journey.
Example Assessments

Comprehensive evaluation to identify and understand dyslexia-related challenges.
Underlying Academic Ability and Learning Potential

Literacy and Numeracy Achievement
Evaluation to pinpoint any specific difficulties in literacy and numeracy skills, including for example dyscalculia and dyslexia traits.
ADHD and Autism Initial Screens (Non-diagnostic)

All educational assessments include a detailed written report and feedback session.
We understand that underlying educational challenges and neurodiversity can greatly influence a child's self-esteem and behavior at home, affecting the entire family. We are here to listen, advise and offer strategies to parents. We help parents navigate their child's educational journey, providing guidance and advice on how best to support their child at home, as well as facilitate communication between parents, schools and professionals.

Jill - former Headteacher.
Lucinda was incredibly helpful when discussing our daughter who was subsequently diagnosed with ADHD. She gave practical, easy to follow advice and the fact she is a parent herself means she really gets it. As a parent of an ADHD child, you often need a hands on, bespoke approach and I have already recommended her to friends who are looking for coaching sessions on how to handle real life situations.'
