Living abroad offers children incredible opportunities to experience new cultures, languages, and ways of learning. But for families whose child struggles with reading, dyslexia, comprehension, or math, finding specialized academic support can be challenging.
Intervention services vary from country to country, schools use different approaches to identifying learning difficulties, and the resources available at one international school may be very different from another. Navigating a new curriculum, language environment, or educational system can make learning challenges even more difficult to address.
Fortunately, your child’s learning support doesn’t have to change every time your address does.
Lindamood-Bell provides individualized, one-to-one instruction for students around the world through live-online instruction that continues wherever your family lives or travels. Whether you’re living overseas for a few months or several years, your child can receive consistent instruction from experienced Lindamood-Bell instructors in real time.
Consistent Support for Globally Mobile Families
For expat families, continuity matters. Interrupting intervention because of a move or limited local resources can slow progress and increase frustration for both students and parents.
Live-online instruction allows children to work one-to-one with a Lindamood-Bell instructor while maintaining a consistent instructional approach, regardless of where life takes your family.
This flexibility is especially valuable for families who need:
- Consistent learning support while living abroad
- Specialized dyslexia or reading intervention that may not be available locally
- Instruction during school holidays or extended travel
- A program that continues wherever your family relocates
- Scheduling options that accommodate international time zones
Dyslexia Support—Wherever You Call Home
Parents living abroad often discover that dyslexia identification, accommodations, and intervention options vary significantly depending on the country or school. While educational systems may change, your child’s learning needs do not.
Whether instruction is provided in person or live online, Lindamood-Bell addresses the underlying causes of reading difficulties rather than simply providing additional practice. Our instruction develops the sensory-cognitive processes that support successful reading, including phonological awareness and symbol imagery (orthographic processing)—the ability to create mental representations for sounds and letters that supports accurate decoding, spelling, and fluent reading.
Instruction is individualized to strengthen the skills that support reading success, including:
- Phonological awareness and symbol imagery
- Decoding and word recognition
- Spelling and written language
- Reading fluency
- Reading comprehension
Every student begins with a comprehensive Learning Ability Evaluation to identify strengths and areas of need. From there, we develop an individualized instruction plan with clear goals and ongoing progress monitoring, allowing families to understand their child’s learning profile and follow their progress over time.
For over 40 years, Lindamood-Bell has helped tens of thousands of children and adults improve reading and comprehension through a sensory-cognitive approach grounded in decades of instructional experience, independent research, and documented student outcomes.
Our Seeing Stars® program develops symbol imagery—the ability to visualize letters in words—which supports decoding unfamiliar words, recognizing sight words, spelling, and fluent reading.See the progress results that students with dyslexia made after Lindamood-Bell instruction:

One of the greatest advantages of live-online instruction is continuity. No matter where your family lives, your child can continue receiving individualized instruction from experienced Lindamood-Bell instructors without interruption.
Instead of searching for new providers with every move, families can access the same evidence-based instruction, personalized to their child’s needs, from virtually anywhere in the world.
