Parenting Dyslexia Direct
Information you need, when you need it.
Welcome to Parenting Dyslexia Direct, a subscription service for parents of dyslexic learners.
I help parents to reignite their dyslexic child's love of learning. I do this by partnering with parents to discover practical strategies for engaging their children with learning and influencing school to deliver the support that the child needs to be able to enojy that learning experience.
Every child’s needs are different and this will mean that your needs as a parent will be different too which is why this is a service that works directly with you personally giving you support, resource signposting and space to think and plan strategies relevant to your unique experience of parenting a dyslexic child.
Watch this video for tips on how to get the best from Parenting Dyslexia Direct.

About One2One Support Sessions
You can book me using the buttons below to support you on a One2One basis via telephone or Zoom. As a Parenting Coach and Therapeutic Counsellor I can give you space to explore what’s happening for your child now, dig deep on aspects that may be getting in the way of your child reaching their potential and find strategies to influence your school in terms of getting support.
You will see two options that relate to differing subscription levels:
One2One support sessions for the £9/m subscription rate.
This option is for members who want to check in and talk about where they are in getting support or who are wanting to find out more information. This is not included in the £9/m subscription rate and costs £30 inc vat (50% discount on standard rate).
Use the button below or click here to book.
One2One planning sessions for the £60/m or the £495/yr subscription rate.
This option is for members who are working on their personalised plans with John Hicks. On this option parents will get to review what has happened in the past month and work with John to amend the personalised plan to reflect outcomes along the way. This monthly session is included in the subscription and must be booked by the member during the month of subscription.
Please note that sessions are not carried over into the next month if not booked.

John Hicks reserves the right to cancel bookings made by members who have not used the correct button related to their subscription level. If this happens you will be notified and invited to book again using the correct link.
Please note that Parenting Dyslexia Direct only provides online and telephone support. If you feel that you would benefit from meeting with John Hicks in person then please contact him direct to discuss your requirements.
