We work on behalf of children who have difficulty with reading, writing and communication . These children may also have sensory loss, physical or motor problems, intellectual or learning difficulties, emotional or behavioural problems. We have a Resource Centre and an Information Helpline . The Resource Centre holds over 13,000 items for use by children who have special reading needs , or as reference material for teachers, parents and other professionals .
Nothing is lent, but enquirers are given advice on where to purchase or borrow items.
When appropriate, enquirers are given information about other organisations which can offer assistance. We work regularly in both mainstream and special schools assisting and advising educational advisers, teachers and classroom assistants . We also offer inservice training programmes at the Centre and also at various locations around the country. For further information please contact the Information Officer at the address below.
