‘‘WE’RE determined to continue to support people with dyslexia in these difficult times. People need our help more than ever and the team have pulled together to make this possible. Do get in touch if we can help.”

That’s the message from Andy Cook, CEO of the Frensham-based Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity.

He added the charity’s friendly team are ready to help by phone or video chat with professional, practical ideas and strategies for people of all ages with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties.

Adapting to working at home is challenging for everyone, but can be even harder for those with a specific learning difficulty like dyslexia. Changes to ways of working and routines can be difficult to cope with and can cause increased stress and anxiety.

Supporting your child with their home learning brings a whole new set of challenges, particularly if you or your child are neurodiverse.

You may feel there are not enough hours in the day and it is very hard to help when you don’t understand the maths, computer science or whatever topic has just appeared on Show My Homework.

Andy continued: “The charity offers short consultations that can be useful to help you find a way forward and our team of specialist teachers are available for one-to-one tuition tailored to your child’s learning needs.

“Our popular ‘HELP!’ course for parents is now also available on line with a live Q&A session – it’s full of useful suggestions that can be put into practice at home.”
