Stacie Allard - Access Learning

ABOUT STACIE

Hi, I’m Stacie Allard, the founder of AccessLearning established in 2015 to provide tailored educational services for the anglophone community in Luxembourg and beyond. The complex multilingual educational landscape is challenging for many children and adolescents. Consequently, those with learning differences and disabilities encounter additional layers of challenge within the school environment.

Having lived in Luxembourg for over 20 years, I have a comprehensive understanding of the local overall educational system, and in-depth experience working with the local and private schools.

My approach is research-based and focused on best-practice interventions customized for children and adolescents with learning differences and disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD and ASD.

My work also includes educational assessment. I am a qualified Specialist Assessor in the UK providing comprehensive educational assessment including narrative reports that support the granting of access arrangements recommendations accepted by external examination boards e.g., Cambridge, Edexcel, AQA, and the IBO.

In addition, I provide private consultations and workshops to parents and educations in supporting their understanding of learning differences and advocating for their children and students.

I work with IFEN (Institute de Formation de l’Education Nationale) to provide training in best-practice inclusive and differentiated instruction to educators in the local schools and the centres des compentences.

My areas of specialty include intervention for Specific Learning Disorders and other obstacles to learning:

  • Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia
  • Dyspraxia/DCD
  • ADHD (all presentations described in the DSM-V)
  • Autistic Spectrum disorders, primarily at the high functioning end
  • Working memory and processing speed disabilities
  • Twice exceptional (gifted or talented with a learning difference or disability)
  • Mental health difficulties and medical diagnoses which impact upon learning
  • General underachievement
