The starting point has to be an assessment of the person’s strengths and weaknesses in order to provide the right sort of guidance/support .
The teaching may also need to focus on one or more of the following:

• Confidence and Self-esteem.
• Mathematics.
• Memory Aids.
• Personal Organisation.
• Study Skills and Examination Techniques.
• Use of Technology.
• Motor Co-ordination.
• Social Confidence.
• Anger Management.
• Sensory Integration.
• Other issues.

Who Does The Assessment?

The Centre is run by Linda Falkner, a fully qualified and experienced Chartered Educational Psychologist with a wide range of experience across all age groups. She also has access to an Occupational Therapist with a Specialist Dyslexia Teaching qualification who specialises in sensory processing difficulties and Therapeutic Listening, a Speech and Language Therapist who specializes in  Early Years, Autism and Specific Learning Difficulties/Dyslexia and Specialist Dyslexia Teachers, who all have nationally recognised qualifications in Dyslexia.

A particular area of expertise is in holistic approaches to assessment and an appreciation that educational underachievement can be associated with concentration difficulties, distractibility and other sensory processing difficulties, causing problems settling down to study and/or working effectively in a busy classroom environment.
