One of the primary reasons we remediate children faster than alternative therapy approaches is because we facilitate a strong partnership between the parent and clinician. Since we will only work with your child for a number of months, during therapy we need to teach you how to further support your child’s development throughout his/her academic career. To further support parents like you, we have just launched a new feature for our online therapy: Parent Resources.
Each time your child advances to a new level within the Lexercise curriculum, your teletherapist can send you a set of individualized materials that will help you work with your child between sessions so that s/he makes faster progress. These materials consist of word cards, sight words, vocabulary development, practice sentences and much more. These parent resources are customized to the level your child is working on and for his/her specific therapy needs.
By making these resources available to parents we hope to get even faster remediation times than the 3 to 5 months we are currently averaging for dyslexic children.
