I am a Dyslexic specialist and expanding to provide a wider range of services to dyslexic children. I have been visiting a number of schools recently and feel there is minimal support for children with dyslexia and their parents. Currently I am exploring a variety of options and would be interested to know how these might be received by people who are supporting dyslexic children. Various avenues I am exploring include:
- consultations with parents at home to explore a variety of multi-sensory resources and useful strategies to use when teaching a child with dyslexia;
- workshops to explore the use of multi-sensory resources and different teaching strategies which can help a child with dyslexia;
- provision of one-to-one tuition during school time at the child's school;
- teaching of a touch typing course which is child friendly.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on which resources/services you feel would be valuable. Getting advice from the people who 'know' would help me to focus on what really matters.
Many thanks!
