Company mission

To democratise access to Special Education Needs (SEN) identification and support.

Our take

The market for Special Educational Needs (SEN) support is growing, with rising demand for early intervention and more awareness of conditions like dyslexia. However, many children still remain undiagnosed, with 80% of dyslexic students going unidentified until graduation.

Talamo is addressing this gap by offering an affordable, tech-driven solution for schools and parents to screen for dyslexia and provide actionable support. Already, over 1,400 children across the UK have tested Talamo, and the company is continuing to expand its reach, helping even more children unlock their potential.

To help with this, Talamo has partnered with some of the most forward-thinking schools in the UK, including Moon Hall, Plymouth College, and St Peter's Leatherhead, to help screen pupils at scale and identify those who need the most support. As the company continues growing, these partnerships are pivotal in shaping the future of education for children with SENs.
