Learning Solutions

We offer a broad range of services

Individualised Reading Workshop

Dyslexia Australia supports a non-phonics based, Multisensory approach to dyslexia or a reading disorder in a caring, patient, flexible and supportive environment. Dyslexia Australia can help should you be seeking an alternative to a phonics tutoring approach. Learning Solution services provided in Queensland and other areas in Australia or overseas if requested.

Research shows phonics is a component to the early stages of learning to read. New research shows if your child continues to struggle with a phonics-based approach after year 2 then an alternative needs to be considered. (see FAQ)

We work closely with children and parents to develop individualised strategies that will directly address your child’s literacy challenges.
