More About Our Company
You may have reached this page in an effort to try and make sense of how a bright, intelligent person such as yourself or your child seems to struggle with tasks that others take for granted. These could include one or more of the following:
• Reading
• Writing
• Spelling
• Poor handwriting
• Maths
• Unable to remember telephone numbers or instructions
• Finds it hard to focus or has a limited attention span
• Clumsy, poor balance
Here at ‘A New Way’ we understand how and why some of these problems occur and offer practical help and advice as to how they can be overcome. We can do this because we realise that dyslexia is not a learning disability, it is just a different way of thinking and learning – a learning difference. Our clients achieve success because we work with their thinking/learning style, rather against it, by showing them a different approach to learning. Since dyslexia is not an illness, then it cannot be ‘cured’, but it can be ‘corrected’, which we are able to do through our specially designed ‘Five Day Correction Programmes’.
