Support and Training

Support and advice are available to families or schools on dyslexia or other Specific Learning Difficulties.

I am available for a non-obligatory chat to discuss the needs of your child and how I might be able to support them, what you could do at home and what questions to ask regarding support at school.

I also offer a one-off support session for parents where we can go through what dyslexia is, how it might impact your child and/or possible resources, games and activities you could use at home to support your child. 

Prices are available on request.
