Dyslexia Treatment

Contact us to discuss your concerns

​Structured Literacy
The International Dyslexia Association recommends a structured literacy approach for treating Dyslexia and any other reading difficulties and writing.  That is exactly what we do!  We teach reading, writing and spelling skills using proven specific, systematic, structured, explicit, multi-sensory, and cumulative teaching methods. 

As at July 2020, the cost of structured literacy lessons is $75 including GST per half-hour session.

Cautions

Experts advise against non-phonetic treatments including isolated visual or ear exercises or lenses.  Here is some more information to help you decide the best way to spend your money to help your child:
