“Finally, something that explains things in plain language! These tools made me feel like I could be part of the team supporting my child.”
Parent
“The free handouts are such a great source of information for parents and teachers. They include evidence-based recommendations that are tried and tested by our therapists.”

“The information and helpful advice for my son who has dyslexia has been really helpful. I wish I had heard of Orton-Gillingham a few years ago as I suspect it would have made a huge difference with his spelling and ability to write.”
