The
Direct Learning Individual
Dyslexia Program (Programme)
 The
Direct Learning Individual Dyslexia Program (Programme) is available
for parents worldwide. Drawing upon all our resources and years of
experience of with the World
of Dyslexia websites, Direct Learning offers an Individual
Program to parents with a child who is dyslexic or has similar
difficulties.
This Program will give you the personal support you
need to help your child through the learning process with a child at
school or at home if you are home schooling.
This affordable Program is tailored to your child's
individual needs, and provides you with personal support from an
experienced Teacher Adviser who will assist you on a one-to-one basis
in helping your child.
The Individual Dyslexia Program is suitable for:
- parents with a dyslexic child
aged 7-16 at school (or a child with similar difficulties);
- home-schooling parents with a
dyslexic child aged 7-16.
The
Program is in two parts:
 A distance
learning training course - The
Dyslexia Parents Course;
- On-going advice and support for
a year from an experienced member of the Direct Learning team - your
Teacher Adviser. Your support may be renewed at a reasonable price for
following years.
Once you sign up for the Program, your child's file
will always be on your Teacher Adviser's desk. This file will contain
copies of your child's school reports, samples of their work,
and records of their difficulties and progress each week as discussed
with you.

Program. The course is well known and has been taken by students in

Each child is an individual, and your Teacher
Adviser will correspond with you personally. Your Teacher Adviser is a
specially qualified teacher with over 20 years' experience of working
with dyslexic children who will:
- correspond with you regularly about your child's
individual challenges and progress;
- advise you about how to deal with the school, your
child's individual learning difficulties, homework and home
learning/support;
- help you to raise your child's achievement into the
average range for their age;
- provide strategies to raise your child's
self-esteem; and
- pass on to you individually-focused techniques to
raise your child's achievement week by week through the year.
Your child's record
will be always be on your Teacher Adviser's desk and, as the weeks go
by, your Teacher Adviser will build up a positive relationship with
you, and a detailed knowledge of your child's individual needs.
You will contact your Teacher Adviser on average
every two weeks, depending on your circumstances. The Program allows
you up to 26 email exchanges per year. Full details are here.
