About Chrissy Hyatt
Specialist dyslexia assessor supporting children, students and adults across Cornwall.
I am an APC qualified dyslexia assessor and experienced teacher based in Truro, Cornwall, providing full diagnostic dyslexia assessments for children, students, and adults.
I am neurodivergent and come from a neurodiverse family. Therefore, I understand both professionally and personally how important clarity, accurate identification and meaningful support can be at any stage of life.
Alongside my professional training and teaching experience, this perspective allows me to approach every assessment with insight, sensitivity and a practical understanding of the challenges individuals may face in education, work, and everyday life.
Professional Approach
With extensive experience in education and specialist assessment, I combine my teaching background with diagnostic training to provide clear, practical recommendations tailored to each individual.
Whether supporting a child in school, a university student navigating higher education, or an adult seeking clarity in work or everyday life, my aim is not only to provide a diagnosis but also insight, reassurance, and a structured path forward.
