Questionnaires

If you are interested in attending one of our Initial Training Sessions, kindly completely the Questionnaire A and return it to us by e-mail or post. If we feel we can help you with your child, we will then tell you when the next Initial Training Session is, and we will confirm your appointment.

Please also send us a typical week's menu for your child.

We will endeavour to see your child in a country nearest to where you live.

If your child is attending a normal school but has only problems with reading, writing, behaviour or concentration, please complete Questionnaire B.
