WordsWorthLearning – New Specialist Private Practice in Nenagh

"Sarah was diagnosed with a Specific Learning Difficulty/ Dyslexia by an Education Psychologist in March ‘22. We didn’t know where to turn for help... The WordsWorthLearning programme has been life changing, not only for Sarah but for our whole family. The results have been amazing. Her reading accuracy has gone from the 16th percentile to the 85th, her comprehension from the 32nd percentile to the 93rd.

"She still has work to do on her spelling but we now have the tools to do this on our own. It has taken the stress out of home and school life. Rita was a brilliant mentor and bonded so well with Sarah. The programme instilled a great work ethic in her and gave her back her confidence. She has developed a love of reading (and listening to audiobooks) and has a newly discovered flair for creative writing!"

Rita Treacy, is a Consulting Speech and Language Therapist, with over 30 years clinical experience specialising in the area of reading /spelling disorders and Dyslexia. She has opened up a new Private Practice in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary for primary and secondary school aged students with literacy difficulties.

She is the author of the online WordsWorthLearning Literacy Programme that offers affordable, evidence-based learning solutions for people with dyslexia and other reading / spellings delays and disorders.

Rita's book - 'Dyslexia Unravelled: An Irish Guide to a Global Problem' (2017) - outlines her unique personal and professional viewpoint of what it is like to be dyslexic, how to identify dyslexia, and how to deal with it.

Rita sees clients in 1:1 sessions. Clients may 'self-refer' to Rita’s Private Practice or be referred by schools or allied professionals. The assessment involves taking a detailed case history and review of reports, followed by the formal assessments. A full written report is compiled with a treatment plan, if indicated. A course of therapy depends on the nature of the difficulty.

Parents/students are informed of the 'expected' length of therapy following the initial assessment. Post Intervention, the student is reassessed to ascertain their level of progress and to determine if further intervention or review is required.
