Dyslexia support for families
Dyslexia doesn't mean can't learn. It means needs to learn differently.
Support for parents navigating dyslexia at home and at school, from a specialist SEN teacher who has helped 300+ children and their families understand and work with their child's learning profile.
Dyslexia is one of the most common and most misunderstood learning differences. Parents often know something is wrong long before the school does, and then spend months trying to get anyone to listen.
Laura helps families understand what dyslexia means for their specific child, how to approach the school constructively, and what to do at home to build confidence rather than compound the struggle. She draws on 10+ in school SEN teams to help you navigate the system from the inside.
