Dyslexia Assessments

and

Academic Assessments in Literacy

 

Dyslexia can seriously undermine progress at school, at work and in other areas of your life. This often leads to anxiety, frustration and low self-esteem and the longer it is left the worse it will become.

 Our Signs and Symptoms of Dyslexia  checklist will help you decide whether you or someone you know is dyslexic.

New - Academic Assessments in Literacy

Sometimes parents or schools do not require an assessments of specific learning disorders, they simply want an academic assessment of a child's literacy skills with recommendations for intervention.

Success Story from an adult with Dyslexia

I assessed Georgia at the end of 2018. She wanted to know if she was dyslexic but was scared she may be 'dumb!' Georgia was anything but dumb. After receiving the report she followed her passion and is studying for a Masters in Teaching. Read about this positive experience and Georgia's study tips

Hello Karen

Harry is doing really well.  The second half of last year Harry's reading and writing improved considerably and, in his December school report he got a D for both reading and writing, a big improvement. Harry did a great job with all other subjects, mostly receiving B and A.

I believe the hand-over from last year’s teacher to this years was good. Ms. X seems very enthusiastic and interested in continuing all the good work that was started last year. In fact, Ms. X told me that she will have a lesson/training with you this evening! That’s fabulous and I'm sure it will benefit Harry.

So, all in all, since your assessment last year, Harry has taken big steps. It has made a huge difference in his, the teacher's and my understanding of his learning difficulties. I am so glad that we had the chance for you to work with Harry.  

Best regards; IP

  Early Screening and Assessment in-school Training

Early screening and assessment allows schools to accurately identify students at risk for reading failure. I have worked with a number of schools to help them set up effective systems for screening and to carry out further, comprehensive assessments where necessary. Please contact me for details :

I just want to say a BIG THANKYOU to Karen for spending the day with me and showing me so many more resources to help our students. I had previously gained a lot from a one day PD that I had attended with Karen but what a benefit I have had working one on one with her! I also hope that the staff at my school all realise the importance of the information that Karen has given us and take it all on board, after all, we are all in it for the students!
Oh... So much to do but how exciting!!!! Anne Italiano Kerrimuir Primary School

Identifying the meeting the needs of students with Dyslexia and other LDs- Workshops for TAFES

Testimony Nov 2021

“Karen is a wonderful presenter and facilitator and came to the session with a wealth of knowledge about how to support students with disability and specifically, dyslexia. Karen didn’t just present the theory, but also explained practical measures for supporting students with disability and dyslexia in the classroom. We wanted to raise awareness at GOTAFE, we got that, and so much more with Karen. Our Trainers and Assessors and support staff walked away with additional tools to support students with disability and dyslexia at GOTAFE. Thank you Karen, looking forward to having you back.”

Daniel Gardner -Coordinator, Diversity and Inclusion
