CONSULTATION & ADVICE

For many parents with a child who is struggling in school, it’s hard to know how to help and where to start.  Often parents have a gut instinct that something is amiss, but don’t know who to talk to, or how to offer the most effective support. 

 

For simple ‘no nonsense’ advice, I offer consultancy meetings (either face to face or by telephone), whereby parents can discuss any issues they wish, including:-

​

• Their child’s individual needs and difficulties

• General information about dyslexia and other related SpLD’s (including attention difficulties, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, speech and language difficulties and autism)

• How to approach the school and get your child’s needs addressed

• Different types of assessment available

• How to go about getting an assessment

• How to support your child at home and help them achieve to the best of their ability

• Transitioning from primary to secondary school

• Tips to boost self esteem and confidence

• Dealing with behavioural difficulties

• Assistance filling in applications and formal paperwork

• For older learners/workers, I also offer mentoring and support for dyslexics in higher education and the work place
