Our mission

Talamo exists to address a problem: the lack of affordable provision for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Inspired by our CEO’s own experience, our mission is to use technology to democratise access to SEN identification and support. We’re starting with dyslexia screening, where 80% of affected children are unidentified by the time they leave school. Our tool is designed to be both accurate and affordable, enabling schools and parents to identify and support every child in need.

Our CEO, Jamie, who struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia throughout school, realised his potential only after diagnosis. His journey taught him that understanding and leveraging personal strengths and mitigating challenges can significantly improve life outcomes. However, sadly, due to the expense of formal assessments, not everyone can afford to have one get one.

Driven by this insight and alarming statistics such as 80% of dyslexic schoolchildren remaining undiagnosed and 50% of the adult prison population having dyslexia - Jamie along with Sophie and Leo founded Talamo.
