We're helping tackle the SEN Crisis through our digital testing & support platform for Schools, Parents and Pupils

Who we are

We are a team of product builders, educators, researchers and SEND specialists working to make screening clearer, faster and more useful for schools.


Talamo is used by over 1,000 UK schools and has screened over 20,000 pupils. Our dyslexia screener is signposted by the British Dyslexia Association, and we are now expanding the platform to support broader SEND identification and provision planning.

Why we do it

We believe every pupil with SEND should be identified earlier and supported more clearly.


Schools are under growing pressure to understand need, evidence support and plan provision across whole cohorts. Talamo exists to make that easier, giving teachers, SENCos and trust leaders the information they need to act sooner.

How we do it

Talamo combines digital screening tasks, standardised assessment design and clear reporting.


Our dyslexia screener helps schools identify risk indicators and patterns linked to dyslexia. From September, our wider platform will also support screening across maths ability, dyscalculia indicators and executive functioning.


The goal is simple: help schools test, understand and plan support with confidence.
