We offer assessment, training, advice and support for people with specific learning difficulties, especially dyslexia. We teach people of all ages (literacy, maths, study skills, strategies for work) & provide workplace coaching at the Cardiff Learning Centre. Use of assistive technology is integral to our teaching and support.
