Mid-Cheshire Dyslexia Learning Centre

The Mid-Cheshire Dyslexia Learning Centre was set up in the Kelsall Parish Rooms (The Old Telephone Exchange) in1999 by Isabel McIntyre, together with the help of her sister Margaret Hogan. As word got round about their success in helping children to overcome their literacy difficulties, demand for their services grew and since then, hundreds of young people have been helped to catch up to the reading and spelling abilities of their peers.

A multi-sensory computerised method is used, which involves the simultaneous use of the eyes, ears, speech organs, fingers and muscles so that the brain receives the same 'message' from a variety of pathways. Multi-sensory methods have long been recognised as the best way for people with dyslexia to learn and - when coupled with the staff expertise and highly supportive one-to-one environment of the Kelsall Centre - these methods can enable them to overcome their difficulties. This offers a way forward for frustrated and anxious parents - truly effective, specialist help for their dyslexic child.
