Dyslexia Surrey was founded by Angie Nicholas, an experienced SEND Specialist who has worked in this field for over 20 years.  An experienced SENCo she also worked for a leading educational charity, Dyslexia Action where she worked with Martin Turner (author of The Dyslexia Portfolio) to pioneer the very first assessments offered by specialist teachers.

She then assumed the position of Programme Director for the Postgraduate Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia).
