About Us

EGS was founded in 1999 and then became a limited company in 2004. The team has continually been expanding and whilst all operations and administration are still conducted from the office in Halifax, West Yorkshire, our psychologists are now spread all over the country.

Our administration team have extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with enquiries and diagnostic reports and act as the front line in handling any issues should they arise. They coordinate all assessments and work very hard to meet the demands of each institute as well as the individual.

Our team of psychologists are from a range of different backgrounds and together bring extensive experience in management and leadership and are knowledgeable in the fields of:-

  • Specific learning difficulties (eg. dyslexia and dyspraxia)
  • Behaviour
  • Early years
  • Autistic spectrum disorders
  • Moderate learning difficulties
  • Sensory impairment
  • Profound and multiple difficulties

The range of experience extends from early years to higher education.
