🔍 What is Specialized Remedial Education?

Specialized Remedial Education is an intensive, evidence-based intervention programme targeting the root causes of a child’s academic difficulties. Unlike mainstream tutoring which re-teaches classroom content, our specialist remedial educators use structured, multisensory, sequential approaches specifically designed for children with learning differences such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia.

Every programme begins with a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment to map the child’s unique cognitive and academic profile. This informs a personalised intervention plan that builds foundational skills from the ground up — phonological awareness, phonics, reading fluency, comprehension, numeracy and written expression — using approaches rooted in the Orton-Gillingham tradition, Wilson Reading System and Lindamood-Bell methods.

Our specialists are trained to recognise the difference between a child who hasn’t been taught well and a child whose brain processes information differently — and to deliver targeted intervention that genuinely works for the latter.

💡 Who Benefits?

  • Children diagnosed with Dyslexia — difficulties with reading, spelling and phonological processing
  • Children with Dyscalculia — persistent difficulties understanding numbers, maths concepts and calculation
  • Children with Dysgraphia — difficulty with written expression, spelling and the physical act of writing
  • Children significantly behind grade-level expectations in reading, writing or maths
  • Children with ADHD whose learning is impacted by attention, working memory and processing difficulties
  • Children with Intellectual Disability requiring modified, adapted curricula
  • Children who have not responded to standard classroom instruction or general tutoring
  • Children who have experienced disruptions to schooling and have significant foundational gaps

⚙️ Our Approach

1

Psychoeducational Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation of cognitive abilities, phonological processing, reading, spelling, writing and maths using standardised, normed assessments.

2

Individualised Learning Plan (ILP)

A structured, sequential plan targeting the child’s specific skill gaps from foundational level upward — nothing is assumed, everything is taught explicitly.

3

Multisensory Instruction

Using visual, auditory, kinaesthetic and tactile learning pathways simultaneously to strengthen neural connections and build lasting memory for skills.

4

Progress Monitoring & Reassessment

Ongoing curriculum-based measurement and formal reassessment every 3 months to document academic gains and adjust the programme.

5

School & Family Collaboration

Providing schools with accommodation recommendations, strategy guides and supporting families to reinforce learning at home.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as tutoring? ▼
No. Remedial education is fundamentally different from tutoring. A tutor helps a student catch up on missed content using the same teaching methods that already haven’t worked for them. A remedial specialist identifies the underlying cognitive and processing deficits causing the difficulty and uses completely different, evidence-based instructional approaches designed specifically for learning differences. Results are therefore very different.
Does my child need a formal diagnosis to access specialised remedial education? ▼
A formal diagnosis is helpful but not mandatory. If your child is significantly struggling academically and not making expected progress despite effort and support, they can benefit from our assessment and programme regardless of whether a diagnosis has been obtained. Our assessment process will identify the nature and extent of the difficulties and guide the right intervention.
How long will my child need specialised remedial education? ▼
Duration depends on the severity of the learning difference and the size of the skill gap. Children with a 1–2 year academic gap typically need 6–12 months of regular, intensive support. Children with severe Dyslexia may benefit from longer-term specialist input. We reassess formally every 3 months and update you clearly on progress and projected timelines.
Can you help my child get exam accommodations at school? ▼
Yes. We can provide formal psychoeducational assessment reports and supporting documentation to assist families in applying for school-based accommodations such as extra time, reader/scribe support, modified examination formats and assistive technology permissions. We also communicate directly with schools to support the accommodation application process.
Will remedial education affect my child’s school attendance? ▼
We schedule all remedial sessions after school hours or on weekends specifically to avoid impacting school attendance. We believe in complementing mainstream schooling, not replacing it. We also liaise with schools to ensure strategies are consistent and to provide progress updates with the school’s permission.
