  • Our approach

    Educational therapists at the centre are specialist teachers trained to understand each child's learning challenges and the patterns they've developed to manage or mask their difficulties. They focus on the whole child—considering both emotional and cognitive factors involved in successful learning. All educational therapists specialise in dyslexia and have achieved (or are achieving) accreditation as Associate Members of the Australian Dyslexia Association (AMADA). Services use evidence-based Multisensory Structured Language approaches, tailored interventions like intensive reading support, and specialised programs for reading, writing, and maths support, including small-group and individual sessions. The centre believes in the positive reframing of dyslexia for students, families, and educators, recognising diverse learning and thinking skills.

Each team member brings specialist training in learning differences and dyslexia support.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Session length varies between clinics and services, so check it with the provider when you book. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
