Pricing & packages

What it costs, and what happens before you pay anything.

Every child starts with an assessment. Until the fuller packages open in January 2027, that is the Basic Learning Assessment below — a basic assessment, a consultation and a written report. Until we understand your child, we cannot honestly tell you which programme is right, so we do not quote you a package first.

There is no charge to register, no charge to ask us a question, and no fee is taken before it has been confirmed with you.

The eight-week programme

A set programme, with goals drawn from your child's assessment.

The standard programme runs in eight-week blocks. The goals for those eight weeks are not a standard list — they come from your child's assessment, which is why the assessment comes first.

  • One new pattern at a time, taught explicitly, in an order where each rests on the last
  • Practised past the point of knowing it, to the point of not needing to think about it
  • Every session ends in connected text, not on a worksheet
  • At eight weeks, a review of what has moved, what has not, and what the next block should change

We do not promise where a child will be at the end of eight weeks. What we promise is that the eight weeks are planned from your child's assessment, taught in order, and reviewed at the end.

Assessment

  • Short screening tasks across reading and spelling

Other services

Home support, parent coaching and inclusive swimming

These are arranged individually, so the fee depends on what is actually needed. We will tell you before anything is booked.

What you are paying for

What each fee includes.

Included in an intervention fee

  • The session itself, taught by an interventionist
  • All materials used in the session — there is no separate materials charge
  • A written record of each session: what was taught and how your child responded
  • Home practice matched to that day's teaching
  • Progress reviews, discussed with you rather than posted to you

Charged separately

  • Assessment fees, which are separate and confirmed before booking
  • Formal diagnostic assessment by another professional, where you choose to pursue one
  • A travel charge for home sessions: RM15 for distances under 10 km, RM30 for 10 km or more

Questions about fees

The things parents ask about paying.

When do I pay?

Payment is completed before a session begins. Bank transfer, QR payment and cash are all accepted, and details are confirmed with you once your registration is reviewed.

Are materials charged separately?

No. Everything used in a session — decodable texts, letter tiles, worksheets, the written session record — is covered by the fee.

Do I pay for anything before I know which programme we need?

Yes — the assessment. It is charged separately because it is what tells us which programme fits. Until the fuller packages open in January 2027, that is the Basic Learning Assessment: a basic assessment, a consultation and a written report. Registering and asking us a question are still free.

Why does the small group cost less per child than an individual session?

Because the teaching time is shared. The teaching itself is no less structured — each child works to their own goals — but one interventionist is working with up to five children rather than one.

Why are the current fees lower?

They are a special discounted rate that runs until 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027 our standard fees apply: RM160 per 60-minute individual session for new registrations, RM120 per child per small-group session, and the four assessment packages at the fees listed on this page. Families already enrolled with True Dream will receive information about their own arrangements privately.

Availability

Groups change as children join, progress and move on. Knowing what is running may shape which assessment makes sense.

Getting started

Register, and we will take it from there.

Registering opens an account and starts the assessment conversation. It is not a commitment to a programme, and there is nothing to pay to ask.
