For Parents
The Reading Clinic has always been a “family-friendly” organisation. In fact, our very first trained tutors were parents of children with dyslexia! Today, parents and guardians play a key role in ensuring the success of their children. All referrals must come from the legal guardian of each student.
The Reading Clinic continues to support the families of children with learning differences through:
- Consultations to parents/guardians;
- Working closely with the parents/guardians of children in our Core Reading Programme;
- Providing workshops for groups of parents on specific topics of interest.
