Testimonials for Gavin Reid Education Consultants

• Fantastic course. Very interesting, full of strategies.

  Lots of practical info – useful for taking back to school.

  Most helpful – group discussions allowed us to mull over and reflect on what we had just heard…  well-paced and informative delivery.

  An excellent day. Updated on the most recent developments, and reminded me why I got involved with pupils with ‘learning difficulties’ in the first place.

  Gavin’s approach re-energised me – great knowledge and enthusiasm.  Encouraged me to re-evaluate my approach.

  Outstandingly good. Many thanks.

  Great to get excellent strategies to use, and reaffirm that we are doing so much right. Great ideas to share with colleagues less familiar with dyslexia and other associated difficulties.

• You are such an inspiration and I’m pretty sure I nailed my AMBDA thanks to reading your books…

• Dear Gavin, I just wanted to pass on some feedback from the teacher.  She contacted me to thank me for passing on your assessment report and said that it was set out so clearly in terms she could understand and that, in 25 years of teaching, it was the best and most concise report she had seen. Many thanks.

• Your books are the core course text in all the dyslexia courses in Malaysia

• Dear Dr. Reid, I had to email you to thank you for your book on dyslexia, second edition. My son has very recently diagnosed as dyslexic and he also has dysgraphia, and I picked up your book in my library and found your book so informative.  It was a genuine comfort and now I have a much better understanding of how to help my son, how to work with his school and how to deal with this myself.   I now also know the importance of self-belief and self-esteem.
  I am looking forward to re-reading your book and learning more. I just wanted to thank you, You have made a big difference to my little guy and his mums life.

• During my years as Head of Learning Support in two Geneva schools, I have referred numerous children to Dr. Gavin Reid for assessment. At such a crucial point in their education, Dr. Reid certainly knows how to put students at ease. The children I have sent to him have never been daunted by the assessment process (as is sometimes the case), and some even return to school saying they have enjoyed it!

  Parents appreciate the fact that the sessions are always carried out in a very professional way, with attention to detail. Dr. Reid’s vast experience as an educational psychologist enables an astute selection of tests for each individual student.

  As an experienced teacher, I have always found Dr. Reid’s recommendations particularly useful. His suggestions are pertinent, with up-to-date websites and materials etc. His insights into a student’s strengths and weaknesses are invaluable when constructing an Individual Education Plan in close collaboration with parents. As a former teacher himself, Dr. Reid has an excellent understanding of the classroom context. He comes with my highest recommendation.

• Gavin Reid is that rare professional who not only explains how children learn best, but also suggests a myriad of practical strategies to help them. I highly recommend his books to everyone from undergraduates to “old hands” working toward successful inclusion. Parents too will benefit from Dr. Reid’s wise and comprehensive experience

• Gavin Reid has the ability to make a complicated subject easily accessible to the reader… I recommend this book to everyone undertaking teacher training and to all teachers with pupils struggling with literacy.

• Gavin you not only care about what you do but you are a real expert in the field. I could have sat all week listening and learning from you

• Gavin Reid has been a great contributor to the entire dyslexia movement and the work that Gavin is doing around the world is so important. Gavin has a wealth of experience with considerable knowledge and has a proven track record in this field of dyslexia.
