Our mission

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 get one.

It was this insight and some alarming statistics - such as 80% of dyslexic schoolchildren remaining undiagnosed and half of the adult prison population having dyslexia - that drove Jamie, Sophie and Leo to set up Talamo.

So, our mission is to democratise access to dyslexia screening & assessment, and to empower more individuals to realise their potential.

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.
