Backed by research and over a decade of personal experience, I've developed a holistic approach to help your child succeed.

* Access tools to teach your child: reading, spelling and mastering their multiplication tables
* Understand other learning challenges commonly found alongside dyslexia
* Discover ways to prevent bullying and abuse
* Learn how to build on your child's strengths and competencies
I'll share the secrets on how to thrive, uncovered by a groundbreaking twenty-year study on living with learning difficulties. And I'll include case stories of famous people who overcame their dyslexia.Join my octopus wrestling team as we tackle dyslexia together.
