24.01.2022 Dyslexia Awareness Month: Myth #2! We thought this was a fascinating one. Did you know that people who read and write in pictorial languages can also have dyslexia?

23.01.2022 Happy World Teachers' Day! We want to applaud all our amazing teachers for making such a huge difference in children's lives. We know 2020 presented teachers with some huge challenges and new learning opportunities, and we wanted to say a huge thank you!

23.01.2022 Dyslexia Awareness Month - Myth #7. While letter reversals can be a sign of dyslexia, any individual who presents with this difficulty does not automatically have dyslexia. Literacy difficulties can exist separate to the condition, but should always be assessed and treated appropriately!

15.01.2022 Dyslexia Awareness Month - Myth #5. As dyslexia is not a visual disorder, dyslexia-friendly fonts have not been scientifically proven to resolve reading difficulties.

15.01.2022 Does reading with your preschooler occasionally feel like a test? Lauren is here with Gabriel to show us exactly what to do when reading and sharing the joy of a book together!

14.01.2022 October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, and as Speech Pathologists we are passionate about helping our clients achieve their literacy goals. Over the next 8 days we will be sharing a common MYTH about dyslexia. As always, we are more than happy to share references and further reading if anyone is interested. Myth #1 - the gender debate (always an interesting one!)

14.01.2022 Today, we're talking about why we teach individual letter-sounds, rather than just focusing on word and sentence level reading and spelling!

12.01.2022 Thanks to the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective for this great post. We are looking forward to challenging our ableist ways and learning more about Neurodiversity from Dr Melanie Heyworth of Reframing Autism at our next whole team PD. How good is Diversity!!

12.01.2022 Today is Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Day. Here are 4 facts about DLD for those of you wishing to expand their knowledge of this condition. We, as Speech Pathologists, can assess and treat children with DLD, and help them achieve their communicative goals.

12.01.2022 Today we are celebrating Abram improving his ability to answer a range of 'wh questions'! He will be continuing to work with our Hornsby therapist Raquel to achieve a new goal. Well done Abram and Raquel! #northshorespeechtherapy #congratulations #slpsofinstagram

11.01.2022 It's our final myth this Dyslexia Awareness Month - we hope you've enjoyed learning a little more about dyslexia over the past 8 days. Our last myth is probably the one we, and you, hear most often - no, dyslexia is NOT a visual disorder, it is a neurological one. If you are looking for a more in-depth explanation, we recommend reading about dyslexia here: https://buff.ly/3cUKm2q

10.01.2022 This term we're working our way through some FAQ's on why speech pathologists might teach particular concepts, or using particular methods. If you'd like to know WHY we teach something, leave a comment below, and we'll let you know! Up first this week: Why do we teach through play?

09.01.2022 Dyslexia Awareness Month - Myth #6. Individuals with dyslexia sit all along the spectrum and range of intelligence and IQ - there has been no correlation found!

09.01.2022 Our Owner and Director Lauren's passion is conducting teacher and parent education and informing the community about speech, language and learning. Her previous experience team-teaching students with severe language and literacy difficulties gave her insight into what it is like teaching a whole class as opposed to 1:1 therapy, and Lauren uses this knowledge to make her workshops practical and her ideas classroom-friendly. #northshorespeechtherapy #workshops #teaching

05.01.2022 Dyslexia Awareness Month - Myth #4. While you do not 'grow out' of dyslexia, it does not mean that progress can not be made. Structured, evidence-based intervention with a Speech Pathologist can make a huge difference in both spelling and reading for those with dyslexia!
