ABOUT
Fiona McPherson, BA (Hons), Dip SpLD, APC

I'm Fiona McPherson, a Specialist Teacher and Assessor based in Berkshire.

I carry out diagnostic assessments for children and adults, with a focus on dyslexia, alongside my particular interest in dyspraxia, ADHD and executive functioning. This gives me a holistic perspective on how neurodivergent profiles can overlap, making the diagnostic process and recommendations more meaningful. I have an empathetic, positive and collaborative approach to assessing. I take time with every client to understand their individual strengths and needs, providing evidence-based outcomes that can be applied at school, university, in the workplace and in everyday life. 

I look forward to working with you.
