Support for parents

Academic support involves not only the child’s and the tutor’s commitment, but also the parent’s active participation. Unfortunately, parents of a child who has a learning difficulty or disability can find it particularly challenging to be actively involved and can often end up feeling overwhelmed.

With that in mind, S.O.S. Studies offers support not only to the students, but also to their parents and families.
Please contact your regional S.O.S. Studies for more information.
