Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, we don’t require a student to have a dyslexia diagnosis from a psychologist.
-
While we are able to provide screening assessments and level B assessments, a full psycho-educational assessment must be conducted by an educational psychologist in Canada. We work with many local psychologists and may be able to help you with local contacts, or you can search for available psychologists through the BC Psychological Association. Please contact our office for details.
-
Typically, we work with children between the ages of 6 and 16.
-
It is recommended that lessons occur at least twice a week to help the child retain information from lesson to lesson.
-
Yes, we believe 1:1 instruction is best for our struggling students.
-
We are able to provide screening assessments and Level B assessments, but on the first day, our Student Services Director will conduct an informal intake assessment. On the first lesson with your Reach OG Practitioner, they will conduct a diagnostic lesson to determine where your child struggles.
-
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) are behavioural disorders. Many students with attention difficulties also struggle with learning due to "missing" the information when it was taught to them. An individual can have more than one learning or behavioural disability. In various studies, as many as 50% of those diagnosed with a learning or reading difference have also been diagnosed with ADHD. Although disabilities may co-occur, one does not cause the other. Our practitioners are also trained to work with these learners.

Our hours are Monday to Friday, 10am to 7pm.
