0Educational Consultations
For teachers or parents who want individual expert advice on how to support a child who is having difficulties with learning.
Who is it for?
If you’re concerned about your child or student, whether they are in primary or secondary, this is a great first step to help you find a road map and to introduce you to options. You will make a valuable connection with one of our educational specialists. If your child is aged 13+ we encourage them to join the consultation too (we generally recommend that younger children do not participate).
What is it?
A 30–40-minute discussion about your child or student and the concerns you have. We provide this service face-to-face or via phone or video call. Questions we can help with might include:
- What can I do at home to support my child?
- Is there anything else I could be doing in the classroom to support this student?
- I’m considering this intervention program; is it a good fit?
- Would a formal assessment be helpful for this child/student?
- What questions should I ask when considering high school options?
- My child is struggling with homework; what might be helpful?
- Could you show me how text-to-speech software and other tech support works?
- Is my child eligible for supports and accommodations at school/university; how do we set this up?
- My child’s specialist recommended this program/strategy, but I need some help getting started.
What type of information will I receive?
- You’ll receive advice on what you can expect from school, general strategies on how to help your child at home and school and help to understand a child’s diagnosis, if they have one.
- We can also show you recommended resources that are available.
