FAQs
How long are sessions?
1
Session length is tailored to the age, needs and learning profile of each child. Most intervention sessions are approximately 45–60 minutes, allowing time for focused teaching, practice and review while maintaining engagement.
How frequently should my child attend?
2
For most children, regular weekly intervention is recommended to support consistency and progress. In some cases, more frequent sessions may be beneficial. The most appropriate schedule can be discussed following the initial consultation and assessment of your child’s needs.
Will you communicate with my child’s teacher?
3
Yes. With parent consent, I am happy to communicate with your child’s classroom teacher or other relevant professionals. Collaboration can help ensure that intervention priorities are well aligned with your child’s broader learning needs and that useful information is shared across settings

Can intervention occur during school hours?
Does my child need a dyslexia diagnosis?
4
No. A formal diagnosis of dyslexia is not required to begin literacy intervention. Support is based on your child’s individual literacy profile and the specific skills requiring development.
If you are considering further assessment or a formal diagnosis, I can also discuss whether this may be helpful and suggest appropriate next steps.
Yes. Sessions can take place during school hours where this is suitable for the family and permitted by the child’s school. Some families find that daytime sessions work particularly well because children are less tired and able to engage more fully in learning.
Families should discuss any planned school absence with their child’s school and follow the school’s attendance procedures.
