Hi, I have an 18 month old son that the speech therapist believes has dyspraxia verbal. He does not talk but is babbling since he was about 16 months old. His speech therpist doesn’t explain things well so I can understand. I was hoping to do your tick test but am unable to locate it on the top toolbar.
Isaac understands everything and more you tell him but just doesn’t speak yet. I live in Brisbane and have noticed you do a skype test. Could you please explain what that is?

Regards

Hi,
Unfortunately I do not know of others. I seem ot be alone in what i do. I do know of a handful of good tutors but they are all full and pleading with me to not send them any more pupils.
People come interstate to see me. But that is because i do not just assess and label but develop a course for each child and show the parent how to teach them as well as giving them the materials they need on a CD.

I am trying my best to help everyone because i am dyslexic

hi i have many students who require a full assessment but parents cannot afford the $650 plus charged by SPELD vic. Can you refer to others in the western suburbs of melbourne who charge similar to yourself and who do as good a job?

Cheers Melissa

Hi, I have an almost 7 year old whose teacher thought he may be dyslexic when he was in prep. She worked with him alot with his eye tracking as he had alot of trouble copying from the board (he said that the letters kept squishing together and would squint and flex his eyes as if they were straining or tired). He seemed to improve for a little while as she was doing alot of exercises with him and re writing everything for him to copy from paper.
He is almost finished year one now and I think the lack of understanding and lack of help from his teacher is leading to the same problems. As well as having difficulty with reading and writing ( so she says, I thought he was starting to progress. Although I still notice the way his eyes still strain)
I would like to know how to contact you and have him tested, for piece of mind and so that he can hopefully recieve more help where he needs it.
Look forward to hearing from you.
