Diagnostics
Diagnostics are carried out using the standardised AFS computer test procedure and are performed exclusively by experienced, qualified dyslexia/dyscalculia trainers. The computer test procedure is used to quickly and accurately identify the individual dyslexia/dyscalculia disorders of those affected. The results form the basis for the personalised training programme.
Therapy
The dyslexia training programme at ISST is carried out by qualified dyslexia trainers in individual sessions. Parents are involved in the support programme, as are the teachers at the respective school.
Help for gifted children too
Gifted children are characterised by very early, above-average abilities and interests. They are often significantly ahead of their peers in certain areas.
This can be in the areas of logic and maths, language, music, visual arts, sport or social skills, and sometimes several of these areas at the same time.
Highly gifted children are often expected to excel at school. This is the case for many, but not all. Unfortunately, abnormalities in the family, nursery or school are often the first reason for parents, carers and teachers to address the issue of giftedness.
In order to support the overall personality of each child, strengths should be developed through intellectual challenge and abnormalities such as work attitude, perception, motivation or social skills should be encouraged.
