What to do if you suspect that your child needs help


All children are different and their progress happens at different paces. It is vital that your child has the support they need and that you are doing everything you can to ensure that they fully active in their learning journey. 

If a child is in need of extra educational support, the most important thing is to get the child assessed by an Occupational Therapist of Remedial Therapist. Parents should approach the school to find out who is the best  person to do this assessment. There are also remedial and occupational therapists associated with the Department of Education, who can be asked for help.

Once the assessment has been done, the therapist and the parents can agree on the best course of action. This is usually Occupational or Remedial therapy.
As the parent of a child with difficulties you must be willing to give the support and love your child needs.

It is vital that you be completely involved in your child’s learning process and the journey that they are on because learning does not end in a classroom. Read to your children, and let them read to you.
Children need praise. Never forget to tell your child how wonderful they are.
