From January 2010, she will be available for consultations at MyLife Centre in PJ and at Yoga Dynamics, a wellness centre in Bangsar which specialises in healing on a holistic level.
 
Lakshmi does consultations and testing for children, teenagers and adults who might be at risk for dyslexia. Once the assessment has been completed, Lakshmi gives classes on a one-to-one basis in order to help dyslexic students cope with their difficulties and in some cases to even overcome their specific difficulties, particularly in reading, spelling and penmanship.
 
Early identification means early intervention - being able to help dyslexics cope better in school and with everyday issues especially reading, which is such an important part of our lives.
