These workshops are designed to equip individuals with the understanding, skills and strategies to maximise their potential in education and the workplace.

Aims:

To provide individuals with an understanding of themselves as learners by exploring the science behind the neurodiverse brain.

For each inidividual to explore their unique strengths and gain an understanding of how to use these to maximise their potential.

To empower individuals to 'own their own learning' through metacognitive strategies. Individuals will be able to utilise this knowledge and adapt their ways of working and learning to meet their needs.

Screening for dyslexia

Rates: POA

Aims:

Screening using evidence and research-based screening tools to identify an individual’s learning strengths and challenges. A suite of screening tools allows age-appropriate screening from age 4 to adult. These tools provide a cognitive profile of the individual from which strengths can be identified, weaknesses supported and appropriate teaching strategies suggested.

It is important to note that this screening process does not constitute a diagnosis, rather it provides ‘indicators’ of dyslexia.

The process includes:

Computer-based, age-appropriate screen.

Additional evidence/information collection using Sharpe Screening tools.

Informal discussion with the individual and whānau (if appropriate) to co-construct learning a positive pathway.

A formal report including screening results and teaching recommendations.
