Special Needs Teacher Wanted !

[Ozangirl]

My 7 year old son has been diagnosed as having dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD and in order for him to progress and learn well at school he requires extra tuition from somebody that is specifically trained to deal with learning difficulties on a one to one or in a small group. I am sure there are other mum's out there in the same situation and was wondering if anyone would like to start up a small group providing we can find the right person to teach ! or, alternatively has anyone got any recommendations on what we should do? My son is currently at The Porter English Reading School and has progressed really well over the last year that he has been there, but unfortunately the cut off age really is 7 at this school so I need to get sorted for September ! which means a minimum of 3 hours extra tuition a week over the summer period and when he starts a new school. He has been having a few private lessons but the person teaching is not trained to deal with specific learning difficulties. Also, which school is the best equipped to deal with special needs? ESK is a definite no as the class sizes are far too big and they didn't want children with such difficulties, he did start off at GAU before going to his current school but again he was totally lost and the teachers were not equipped to deal with him. I did visit Necat and this seems to come out as a favourite with me - any views ? Near East, again was too big. Where is everyone else sending their children who are struggling? I know there are plenty of kids out there with learning difficulties as it seems to be every other person I speak to. Any advice or suggestions most appreciated. Sharon
