What can you do as a parent?
- Get your child diagnosed by an educational psychologist. This is to confirm that your child is dyslexic and also so that your child can get support in school with the assessment report. It also helps the educational therapist to find out more about your child so that we can plan the lesson to suit your child.
- Dyslexia can come together with dyspraxia, aspergers and adhd. You need to find out if your child needs other intervention.
- If your child has dyslexia what he needs is 1-1 multisensory intervention which is custom made to his strengths. He also needs a programme that incorporates bridging to schoolwork like writing and comprehension rather than just phonetic therapy involving reading and spelling. Of course he needs alot of motivation and positive reinforcement.
