17.01.2022 Research tells us that approximately 1 child in 20 has dyslexia. This means that there is likely to be at least one child in every class who displays the pattern of strengths and weaknesses characteristic of dyslexia. Do you have a young child who puzzles you, displaying well-developed skills and abilities in some areas and unexpected difficulties in others? Complete this checklist to determine if that child could be at-risk of dyslexia (SPELD SA). We have experienced clinicians able to complete literacy assessments and develop individual intervention programs prior to undergoing a comprehensive dyslexia assessment. Contact us today if you would like to discuss further.

05.01.2022 Dyscalculia // Dyslexia // Dysgraphia // Dys- what?!! We recently completed further training in SLDs through the senior psychologists at SPELD. All of the t...erms above relate to SPECIFIC LEARNING DISORDERS (READING, WRITTEN EXPRESSION & MATHEMATICS). We thought we would pass on what we learnt as there are a lot of myths out there!! A SLD can ONLY be diagnosed by a psychologist (trained in SLD) using the DSM-V criteria and information gathered by allied health practitioners (usually OT and Speech) and their educators AFTER individualized therapy has been provided for more than 12 months. Learning DIFFICULTY vrs learning DISORDER? A learning difficulty is defined by a student having the potential to achieve age-appropriate levels if provided with support and instruction, whereas a learning disorder is defined by a difficulty that tends to continue despite appropriate targeted intervention and support (life-long). Soooo. Where should you start? READING- Our Speech Pathologist friends are your first port of call for a literacy and phonological assessment, a language assessment may also assist with educational supports (funding) at school. WRITTEN EXPRESSION- Your friendly OT can help with standardized motor coordination, visual perception and integration assessment to assist with targeting strategies and accommodations to support the student and educators at school. MATHEMATICS- You school educators will have access to numeracy assessments and remediation maths programs such as Number Shark and Dynamo Maths. Your support providers (if required) will then point you in the direction for a psychology assessment for a specific learning disorder. We refer on to the experts at SPELD Victoria. If you want more information on their services check out www.speldvic.org.au

04.01.2022 On World Mental Health Day (10/10) it is important to appreciate that speech pathologists improve a person’s communication and swallowing skills so they can fun...ction physically, socially and mentally at home, in the classroom, in the workplace, in social situations and in mental health treatment programs. Speech pathologists are an important part of the mental health team. Speech pathologists diagnose communication and swallowing disorders and, as part of the mental health team, can play an important role in diagnosing mental illnesses. They also help to determine whether communication or swallowing difficulties are part of the current mental health issue or whether there is an underlying communication/ swallowing disorder. They then develop appropriate targets to help overcome difficulties and help the person understand and participate in their treatment.
