Educational consultations
For teachers or parents who want individual expert advice on how to support a child who is having difficulties with learning.
Talk to an expert
If you’re concerned about your child or student, whether they are in primary or secondary school, this is a great first step to help you find a road map and to introduce you to options. You will make a valuable connection with one of our educational specialists.
If your child is aged 13+ we encourage them to join the consultation too.
What can I discuss?
A 45-minute discussion about your child or student and the concerns you have. We provide this service face-to-face or via phone or video call. Questions we can help with might include:
- What can I do at home to support my child?
- Is there anything else I could be doing in the classroom to support this student?
- I’m considering this intervention program; is it a good fit?
- Would a formal assessment be helpful for this child/student?
- What questions should I ask when considering high school options?
- My child is struggling with homework; what might be helpful?
- Could you show me how text-to-speech software and other tech support works?
Is my child eligible for supports and accommodations at school/university; how do we set this up? - My child’s specialist recommended this program/strategy, but I need some help getting started.
What type of information will I receive?
- You’ll receive advice on what you can expect from school, general strategies on how to help your child at home and school and help to understand a child’s diagnosis, if they have one.
- We can also show you recommended resources that are available.
Consult with literacy and/or numeracy screening and written recommendations
Our education consultant can conduct a short screening assessment (KTEA-3) as part of a consultation and provide written recommendations. This can also help to determine if a full psychological assessment is warranted.
