- We understand the essential role that schools play in identifying children and young people with dyslexia, numeracy difficulties or speech, language and communication needs.
  
  Our service ensures that early and effective support is put in place for these vulnerable groups and that their progress is carefully monitored.
  
  We have a proven track record of effective intervention and draw on a wealth of local knowledge.
  Key Benefits
  - A range of flexible support, including intervention packages for children with dyslexia, numeracy based difficulties or speech, language and communication needs.
  - Direct access to a team of highly experienced and skilled practitioners.
  - Specialist assessment, training and consultancy services for children who need assistive technology and/or appropriate software to support their written or spoken language.
  - A range of accredited or competency based training, including Jump Ahead/dyslexia/ speech and language/numeracy-based difficulties.
  - Support to ensure you have your best practice recognised through becoming a Dyslexia Learning Friendly School.
