Meet Heather Graham

Specialist Dyslexia Assessor • Speech & Language Therapist • Neurodiversity Advocate

I’m Heather Graham, founder of BrightPath Assessment & Therapy.

After graduating with a First Class Honours degree in Speech and Language Therapy in 2011, I have spent 14+ years working within the NHS, including leading specialist clinical services.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with individuals and their families, developing a deep understanding of how language, memory, processing and cognition can affect communication, well-being and daily life.

This experience now underpins my approach to dyslexia assessment and speech & language evaluation—helping me discover each child’s unique strengths, understand their challenges and provide practical support that empowers them to achieve their full potential.

A Personal and Professional Journey into Dyslexia

While my clinical background is broad and highly specialised, my passion for dyslexia assessment grew more recently — and very personally.

I am a mother to a wonderful dyslexic child, and I’m married into a proudly dyslexic family.

In my husband’s family, dyslexia was never viewed as a limitation — it was recognised as a different and valuable way of thinking.

Family members have followed a wide range of paths, from professional and academic careers to creative, entrepreneurial and practical roles. What they share is not a job title, but the cognitive strengths often seen in dyslexia.

This shaped my belief that dyslexia does not need to be “fixed” — it needs to be understood, supported, and valued.

This lived experience changed the way I viewed dyslexia — not as a barrier, but as a different and incredibly valuable way of thinking.

That’s what inspired me to specialise in dyslexia assessment.
