Dyslexia, Dyscalculia & Dysgraphia Support
Celebrating strengths and building skills through compassionate, evidence-based support for learning differences
What This Service Is
At GOODHANDS, we provide specialised support for children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. We focus on building skills, confidence, and a positive sense of self, without stigma or shame.
Learning differences are not deficits. They are simply different ways of processing information. Our strength-based approach celebrates what each child can do while providing targeted intervention to help them thrive academically and emotionally.
Whether your child has a formal diagnosis or shows signs of learning differences, we are here to provide the support they need.
Who This Service Helps
This service supports children who may be:
- Struggling with reading despite strong verbal skills (dyslexia)
- Finding math concepts, numbers, and calculations challenging (dyscalculia)
- Experiencing difficulty with handwriting, spelling, or written expression (dysgraphia)
- Feeling frustrated or anxious about schoolwork
- Working harder than peers but not seeing the same results
- Showing strengths in creative, visual, or hands-on tasks
- Needing strategies to work with, not against their learning style
This service is suitable for children from early primary through secondary school, with approaches tailored to each child's age, strengths, and needs.
How We Work
Our approach to supporting learning differences is:
- Child-centred: We celebrate your child's strengths and build on what they do well
- Evidence-based: Our methods are grounded in proven research and best practices
- Family-focused: We partner with parents to support learning and wellbeing at home
- Collaborative: We work with schools to ensure your child gets the support they need
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your child's learning profile, their strengths, challenges, and unique needs. From there, we create an individualised plan with clear goals and practical strategies.
Regular progress reviews ensure your child is always supported effectively and making meaningful progress.
What Sessions Look Like
Our sessions are structured, engaging, and designed to build both skills and confidence. We use multisensory techniques, assistive tools, and evidence-based programs tailored to each child's learning style.
Sessions are typically one-on-one, providing focused attention and personalised instruction.
Therapy can take place in our clinic, at your child's school, or at home, whichever setting works best for your family. Teletherapy is also available.
Parent Involvement
Parents are essential partners in supporting children with learning differences. We provide coaching, practical strategies, and resources so you can confidently support your child at home and advocate for them at school.
After each session, we share insights into what we worked on and suggest activities or adjustments you can make to support your child's learning and wellbeing. We are always available to answer questions and provide ongoing guidance.
Your involvement helps your child build resilience, confidence, and a positive relationship with learning.
