their child's perceived reading and writing difficulties, and open to trying
whatever might work. Indeed, it's feasible this preparation may be
effective in helping their child. After all, when you consider parallel
claims for the efficacy of EPO, how does one explain why so many women swear
by EPO for alleviating their PMT symptoms (...acronyms, acronyms, everywhere
acronyms!)? ...and if EPO works for PMT, then why not Dyslexia as well!
When all is said and done, it's probably best to simply accept that these
parents want their child to take this preparation, and who are you to
question them. What you can do is provide support for this child in
whatever ways are appropriate in your role as a SENCO. But do be wary of
being drawn in by parents who evangelising to anyone who will listen about
substances they claim have amazing curative properties. Keep an open mind
by all means, but not so open that your brains fall out!
