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
