Description

Our pupils primary difficulty is Dyslexia, all students have average or above average IQ and range from 8-12yrs of age. Our teaching methods are specalised, structured and multisensory, designed to teach reading ,writing and spelling by engaging all the senses: sight,sound,movement and touch, simuntaneously.

We would love if our school website ( which is currently the opposite of the above ) reflected this. As our students attend for 2yrs only, from Dublin to Wicklow, we do not have the normal parent body or support.
