Hello there! I'm Sally-Ann

Hello there! I'm Sally-Ann

20+ years of SpLD Experience

Hello there! I'm Sally-Ann

I am a former Patoss APC reviewer with over 25 years of experience as an SpLD Specialist. Throughout my career, I've contributed to postgraduate courses at London South Bank and Edge Hill University, where I served as Senior Lecturer on the AMBDA programme.

As an assessor and long term APC holder myself, I can fully empathise with the challenges you may encounter in your professional journey.
My goal is to support you in navigating your professional role and to enhance your skills as an assessor. I have a great network of fellow specialists and regularly consult with SASC to ensure that Praxis content is relevant, up to date and accurate.

I am often commended on my ability to simplify potentially complex information, and I strive to bring that clarity to my training and coaching sessions. By working with me, you will embrace my motto of 'This is a do-able job.' I am here to guide you, fine tune you, and demonstrate that maintaining excellence in this field is within your reach.

See What Our Members Say

Hear from assessors who have already joined our professional community

The Praxis Pro community has given me a safe space to ask questions, feel supported and benefit from Sally Ann’s guidance as well as colleagues. Being with fellow assessors without the negative noise that we’ve experienced in some other groups/platforms has allowed me to focus on what we do as assessors and why it matters. I have learnt a lot and it’s made me want to be better.

Cher Neves

DunEdin Dyslexia

I have, recently, newly set up as a private assessor after years of specialist assessing and teaching in schools. The process has been a steep learning curve and Praxis Pro has been invaluable in reassuring, guiding, informing, advising and reducing anxiety. Streets ahead of other training organisations, I'd say!

Juliet Knolls

Specialist SpLD/Dyslexia Assessor

I find being a member very re-assuring; it helps me to feel I’m doing the right thing, and when I am not sure I have a very knowledgeable yet friendly and supportive group where I can ask for advice. I find Sally-Ann’s training excellent and her style of delivery is clear and straightforward.

Janice Rolnick

Education Consultant

I joined Praxis Pro as a newly qualified assessor. I wanted to develop my knowledge and confidence in so many areas. I can hand on heart say it was the best decision I have made so far. Even reading other queries and responses from others is great CPD.

Sam Bocock

School Inclusion Support

The impact of me being a member has reduced the isolation of being an independent assessor and has brought a like-minded, informed and future- focused community to my door.

Mel Strachan

Dyslexia Diagnostics

I used to feel overwhelmed by the constant changes to assessments, reports, and suitable tests, so I joined Praxis Pro to stay up-to-date with everything. Sally-Ann has such a reassuring way that makes everything seem clear and easy. I really feel like I'm in safe hands with her.

Sofia Russo

Specialist Teacher and Assessor

I joined Praxis Pro to be the best assessor I can be, and it’s been invaluable! With so many changes happening, it’s great to stay up to date-, which boosts my confidence. The support from Sally-Ann is fantastic, and the extra bonuses make it even better. Highly recommend!

Louise Cunningham

Dyslexia Bedford

As an experienced assessor who no longer submits a report for APC renewal, Pro provides the opportunity to reflect, consider different perspectives, makes it easier to keep up to date, with minimal effort, and makes it easier to ensure I don't become complacent.

Louise Nicholson

South Ribble Dyslexia

Praxis Pro has transformed my career by providing unparalleled expertise, ongoing CPD, and a supportive community of professionals. The mentorship and collaboration have sharpened my skills, keeping me confident and informed. This membership ensures I can provide the highest standard of assessments, adapting to new research and best practices.
