The dyslexia@bay^TM System is designed to help students from the age of 8 upwards to overcome problems such as spelling (learning and remembering), reading (fluency and comprehension), sequencing (following a set of verbal instructions in sequence) and other difficulties associated with dyslexia. There is no upper age limit as many adults have also benefitted from a dyslexia@bay^TM Programme.

Children under the age of 7 with reading and spelling difficulties will benefit from 

The dyslexia@bay^TM System is a unique comprehensive system designed to deal with all of the following problems associated with dyslexia:

• Forgetting Spellings (some children can learn their spellings over a short period of time but can have diffiulty with long-term recall)
• Phonological Deficit (difficulty with sounding out words)
• Reading comprehension (not being able to fully recall the content of the passage being read)
• Sequencing Difficultes (unable to follow a simple set of instuctions for e.g. go upstairs, get your pyjamus underneath your pillow, your book beside your bed and your slippers under the bed)
• Eye-tracking Difficulties (reading in a slow or hesitant manner, losing their place on the page while reading, errors copying down from the board)
• Writing Difficulties (unable to write down a story in sequence)
• Handwriting Difficulties (difficulty writing along a ruled line, confusion of similar letters b's / d's or p's / q's)

The reasons behind these difficulties are established during the first part of a consultation. During the once-off, full day (10am - 4pm) consultation the dyslexia@bay™ Consultant will screen each student for 41 individual thinking skills.  An individual plan is drawn up for parents to carry out with the student at home for 28 days.  

The dyslexia@bay^TM System originated in Ireland but is now used in England, Scotland, Australia, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.

Does my child have dyslexia?

For a more extensive list of difficulties see Signs and Symptoms.

Remember that dyslexia means different things to different people i.e no two people with dyslexia are the same. Each person with dyslexia will exhibit different strengths and weakness.

Some people with dyslexia can have difficulties reading words on a page. Other people can read well at a mechanical level but will not remember what they have read.

Some people with dyslexia will forget their spellings very soon after learning them, while others can remember the spellings very well for each spelling test but if you ask those same spellings three weeks later they “gone”.

Some people with dyslexia can have poor balance while others can be wonderful sports people.

As each person with dyslexia is different, each person with dyslexia should be taught differently. The dyslexia@bay™ System is designed to work with individuals on a one-to-one basis in the presence of a parent. An individual programme of mental skills and eye-tracking exercises is designed for each person to alleviate the symptoms and to make learning easier. During the one-day consultation the parent is given guidance on how to assist the student with this 28-day programme at home.
