Thank you to all the schools who have entered so far!

Over the past year, Iโve had more and more schools across Kirklees, Barnsley, Wakefield, Sheffield, Oldham, Leeds and surrounding areas recommending me to parents for dyslexia assessments.
As a thank you for all the recommendations and support, Iโd like to give something back. ๐
Iโm offering three schools a free 60-minute dyslexia consultation with me.
Each consultation will begin with a short overview of dyslexia and some of the common signs to look out for. The rest of the time can then be used to discuss whatever would be most useful to your school.
This could include:
โญ Practical strategies for supporting pupils in the classroom
โญ Dyslexia and literacy support or intervention
โญ Individual pupils you have concerns about
โญ Whether further investigation or assessment may be helpful
โญ Any other questions around dyslexia and literacy difficulties
The consultation can be with the SENCo and/or individual teachers, TAs or other relevant members of staff, with up to three members of staff attending at a time.
The 60 minutes can be used as one 60-minute consultation or split into two 30-minute consultations if that would be more useful.
Beforehand, Iโll ask each school to let me know what they would particularly like to discuss so that I can prepare and make the best use of the time.
Schools are welcome to use the consultation to discuss individual pupils. If an identifiable pupil is going to be discussed, written parental consent will be required in advance before any information about the pupil is shared with me.
