Remedial Therapist

I am a qualified Intermediate Phase Teacher specialising in special needs education. I work with children and young people who have a range of learning difficulties, disabilities, or developmental challenges. My main role is to support these learners to achieve their full potential, both academically and socially. My key responsibility is to identify the childs’ strengths and difficulties through observations, assessments and working with other professionals. I do have experience in working with children that were diagnosed with ADHD, reading difficulties (dyslexia), autism and severe to mild intellectual problems. I modify teaching methods and resources to suit each learners’ needs (for example, using visual aids, assistive technology, or sensory activities). I liaise closely with other therapists like speech- and occupational therapists.

I identify the learners’ strengths and difficulties through observation, assessments and working with parents and referring to other professionals if needed. I develop individual tailored goals and strategies for each child’s different needs.

I assist children struggling with language and reading by giving extra support to make learning easier.
