Specific learning difficulties help available from LDA Wairarapa LDA Wairarapa helps young people with specific learning difficulties (SLD) including dyslexia. We can arrange for an assessment, which highlights learning strengths and weaknesses and pinpoints where extra help is needed. We offer individual tuition based on the assessment report using trained primary or secondary teachers
who have completed further intensive training to work with SLD. Our tutors work closely with the student’s school teachers and tuition often takes place during the school day. Although the assessment and tuition have to be paid for by families, LDA’s voluntary committee works extremely hard to maintain a
fund to help subsidise the costs. We also organise events for students, parents and teachers. If you would like to support LDA Wairarapa in their work with young people, please email us and ask us to send you our regular newsletter. TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE for our special screening of “Pick of the Litter”, a family film about puppies
being trained to be guide dogs, on Saturday, 1 September at 3.45 pm. This is part of the NZ International Film Festival and tickets cost $20 including refreshments before the film. EMAIL LDAwairarapa@gmail.com for tickets or call in to Regent 3 Cinema, Queen Street, Masterton.
