Helping place children with additional needs
in schools where they can reach their full potential
– socially, emotionally & academically.
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!
