GADA
Workshops
Galway Dyslexia association is a non-profit making charity which helps children with dyslexia. Children with dyslexia find it difficult to learn to become literate but are usually fully capable of becoming fully employable members of society with the correct help. If not given help these children may end up disillusioned very intelligent people but without qualifications, which in turn leads to problems for them and society. Schools now help some of these children but cannot help all at present.
Tuition is in the Galway Educate Together School.
Teaching is carried out by fully qualified specialist teachers who have done a
course on dyslexia. All children in the workshops have been assessed by a
psychologist as being dyslexic. Tuition is in groups of four for two hours with
a short break; the tuition is prepared separately for each child and includes
work on computers.
Costs:
€500 per term. Two terms per year.
The costs can be claimed back against tax.
Support through Inland Revenue Changes
The Inland revenue are no longer allowing parents to claim tax back on the Med 1 form for the costs of dyslexic classes.
