  • What is IDL?

IDL (Indirect Dyslexia Learning) was established over 20 years ago and has helped many students improve their reading and writing skills.

It is a specialist literacy software programme for people with dyslexia or dyslexic type difficulties. Highly successful at raising reading and spelling levels, IDL has helped adults and children around the UK to improve their literacy skills.

The IDL software is a multisensory learning method – using sight, sound, touch & voice. It builds up skills gradually in a stress-free way. Reading and spelling feels easy and comfortable. New skills are practised and revised until learnt. There is a structured approach, which provides a learner-friendly, accessible course.

  • National Autistic Society’s Parent to Parent Service – Parent to Parent (P2P) is the NAS’ UK-wide confidential telephone support service providing emotional support to parents and carers of a child or adult with autism. The service is provided by trained parent volunteers, who all have at least one son or daughter with autism. The Parent to Parent volunteers are based across the whole of the UK, this means that there is increased anonymity for parents who may not want to share information with someone in their local area.

The volunteers have a wealth of experience, knowledge and insight and can talk through any issues, problems or feelings parents are experiencing. They all know what life can be like for families affected by autism and want to do something to support others in similar situations. They can also direct callers to other sources of information and support.

Parents and carers can contact the service via phone or online. They can either call 0808 800 4106 at any time day and night and leave a message. It is not a manned line, but if they leave a message, a volunteer will call them back as soon as possible, at a time which suits them. You can find more information about the service on the web page https://www.autism.org.uk.

  • Local Offer – In September 2014 all Local Authorities must publish a ‘Local Offer’ to support children who are disabled or who have SEN and their families. The Local Offer will enable families to understand what services they can access and what support they can expect from a range of local agencies, including the local authority, health services, schools, leisure services and the voluntary sector. The offer will include provision from birth to 25, across education, health and social care.

The potential outcomes of the Local Offer are:

  • To provide clarity and confidence for parents

  • To support earlier intervention

  • To reduce the need for assessment

  • To identify need and gaps in provision

  • To provide an evidence base for improving progress and securing better outcomes at school and local level
