Dyslexia Australia

Dyslexia Australia supports children experiencing reading and learning difficulties, particularly challenges with comprehension, sight words and phonics. Its approach recognises that visual learners may have different needs and learning styles, and uses a multisensory, non-phonics-based method to help reduce confusion and struggle with reading. The organisation also aims to address behavioural and emotional difficulties associated with dyslexia and reading challenges.

Its services include diagnostic assessments for learning disorders such as dyslexia, as well as assessments for ADD/ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Dyslexia Australia offers individualised reading workshops, personal consultations, and seminars and workshops for teachers. The site also provides information about dyslexia, including common signs and frequently asked questions, to help families and educators better understand learning needs.

For readers seeking further information, Dyslexia Australia offers the book Lost for Words by Brenda Baird. Families, educators and others can contact the organisation to make an enquiry or book an assessment. Its stated mission is to enable people to learn, rather than simply teach them.
