WHEN SCHOOL CHOICE IS EXTRA HARD

Lorna Woolley helps parents find the right school for children finding it difficult to learn Choosing a school can be emotionally fraught at the best of times, but if your son or daughter has dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, ODD, Asperger Syndrome, ASD or other leaning difficulties, it can be really hard to know where to turn for advice. Even as a highly experienced primary school teacher, I struggled to find suitable schools for my two dyslexic sons. Now, as an independent educational adviser, I’m providing the kind of specialist support I would love to have received 10 years ago. For example, parents may have their heart set on a particular school but be concerned about how well their child will cope academically, socially and emotionally. In many cases I’ve been able to suggest alternatives where extremely talented teachers excel in helping each pupil access the curriculum, whatever their unique needs and learning style. Parents often tell me they find it very worrying when an assessment indicates they should consider moving their son or daughter from the educational path everyone else is following. That’s when they value finding someone able to give them the encouragement and confidence to make informed decisions about their child’s education. And hearing how children have been able to flourish in the right setting is what makes my work so worthwhile!
