Courses for parents: practical solutions for dyslexia
Dyslexia Parents Resource
Many teachers, teaching assistants and parents find themselves responsible for the education or support of a dyslexic child or teenager but do not feel equippped with the knowledge about dyslexia or synthetic phonics. Our distance learning multi-media courses provide practical training in how to support and teach a child who is, or may be, suffering from dyslexia, either in school or at home.
