Thank you

July 21st, 2010

The writers of this letter have been Australian citizens for many years and of Czech origin. The family is significant in that that there are a lot of academically competent people and dyslexia within the family.
 
We were always confident in the fact that every civilized country recognises and protects dyslexic people, only to learn later from Parliament of New South Wales that Dyslexics are discriminated against in Australia.
 
Our good fortune led us to dyslexia specialist Dawn Matthews at Dyslexia Centre Australia.
 
Our only child Elizabeth was born in Australia in August 2006 and in May 2010 we took her to Dawn, because we suspected that she was dyslexic like her father. We wanted Dawn to make recommendations.
 
Dawn worked out a personal teaching program for Betty and also helped  her father who was never given a proper eye specialist examination. Dawn returned the dying mother to life.

We will always respect and love Dawn. We see that she is the defender of good and justice. Betty’s grandfather, who is an engineer, and prior to retirement was the director of main government roads, bridges and railways in the Czech Republic, has the same regards for Dawn. 
 
Dawn has referred Elizabeth to a specialist developmental optometrist for testing because she suspected that Betty tends to pay more attention to distant things rather than close ups and she was right. Now both father and daughter are wearing reading glasses.
 
Also after only a few weeks of Dawn’s teaching method Elizabeth is, for the very first time, properly pronouncing the words she hears.
 
Dawn we do thank you very much, you have changed many lives for the good. My husband Thomas is saying that ”you are the light in the tunnel in the mountain where we live”.
 
Our warmest regards
 
Yours with respects Vladana and Thomas Kubat
