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.
​​​​​
​​
​
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.
