It's Convenient- If you have access to the internet, you have access to professional advice at your fingertips, without having to leave the comfort of your home (in some cases).
- You don't have to take time off work, make appointments, keep the appointments, fight with the traffic or look for parking.
- Your child does not have to take time off school, stress about going to see a therapist, stress about "telling all" to a stranger or worry that friends are going to find out.
- You have detailed answers to your questions in written form to keep and refer to at any time.
- By using The Learning Workshop's online counseling, all you have to do is sit in front of your computer - any time of the day or night, at your convenience - and help is only a "click" away.
It Saves you Time- Many of the reputable therapists are well booked and often do not have immediate vacancies. It may be days or even weeks before the problem is assessed and your queries answered.
- Your child may be put on a waiting list for remedial lessons. This may cause the need to settle for whatever support you can get, compromising quality of therapist and remedial support - and ultimately your child's progress.
- All the while, valuable time is lost. Delays in addressing your child's problem at the appropriate level only worsen the entire situation.
- Perhaps you only need information or advice on certain educational topics and do not need to go to the lengths of making an appointment with a therapist.
- By using The Learning Workshop's online counseling, we can help you and your child within 48 hours.
It's Cost Effective- It is not always necessary to see a psychologist if there are problems with your child's performance at school. While most provide an excellent and valuable service, psychologists often refer children with learning difficulties to a remedial therapist anyway.
- Psychologists' rates vary between R200,00 and R500,00 per session while remedial therapists charge between R80,00 and R150,00 per lesson.
- As you can see, remedial lessons and/or counseling sessions with a psychologist for learning difficulties and related problems can work out to be quite costly, bearing in mind that numerous sessions are usually required.
- By using The Learning Workshop, you are guaranteed professional help from our very experienced remedial specialist at a very reasonable fee.
- As The Learning Workshop is a South African site, our overseas clients benefit greatly from the exchange rate - where else will you be able to get up-to-date professional advice for less than US$20 ?
How does Online Counseling work?There are many forms of Learning Disabilities which do not affect every child in the same way. Each child is an individual with his/her own style of learning and with very specific and unique needs. What works for one child may not work for another.
In order to meet these needs adequately and to provide the best possible solution to your child's problems, individual counseling is recommended, rather than surfing the net for general answers.
Counseling with our remedial therapist will take the form of emails, sent by you, detailing the problems you're experiencing, questions you may have and information you require.
Detailed answers, specific to your child's needs, will be returned to you via email within 48 hours.
