I work for Louise Green Ltd, which was registered at Companies House in 2016.

I am a qualified teacher who has over thirty five years’ experience in assessing for specific learning difficulties. I administer full diagnostic assessments as well as shorter assessments to complete the JCQ's Form 8, looking for qualifying scores for access arrangements in examinations including GCSEs and A Levels, such as extra time and scribes. I can provide training on the latest JCQ Updates for SENCos, Access Arrangements Administrators, SEN departments, Heads of Centre and Senior Leadership Teams, and assessors either individually or in groups.

I have held an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) since they were first introduced in 2005 and this has been updated every three years. My details can be found on The SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) website under Find an Assessor.

I joined Patoss, the Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties in 1990 and was a member of the Board of Directors from 1993. I served as Chairman of the Board from 2004 to 2015. As Chair of Patoss I was interviewed both on radio and television about dyslexia related issues. I also was a member of the Board of the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) for many years.

I have had articles printed in the Times Educational Supplement about spelling and writing, and I have presented at the Education Show at the NEC about pupils coping with stress.

I was part of the working party that set the definition for dyspraxia in the UK.

I have worked at Oxford University and South Bucks University as an onsite assessor. I also have worked in a variety of schools, specialist schools and colleges providing assessments for access arrangements for secondary school students and supporting both students and teachers. Therefore, I am experienced with the particular needs of each of these settings.

I have been a member of a panel who meet with the Joint Council of Qualifications to consider, from an assessor’s point of view, the implications of any changes to the JCQ access arrangements regulations.

I have given training for Patoss, the BDA, schools, colleges and small groups on a variety of subjects, including how to administer access arrangements for GCSEs and A Levels, what tests can be used for assessments, dyspraxia, common mistakes made in assessing, coping with stress, and the strengths and weaknesses of many different assessment materials.
