On behalf of others, we’re leading together
Our dyslexia team leads have rich and diverse professional backgrounds, along with other experts within Clinical Assessment. Working closely together across our varied roles allows us to share information and expertise while supporting your work toward the best outcomes for individuals with dyslexia and those who may be at risk. Because after all, these individuals are learners — and at the heart of everything we do at Pearson. #alwayslearning
