I am a teacher assistant at a secondary school and have been working with a year 8 girl who is dyslexic your book was mentioned to me in the holidays and after purchasing it can see that it is going to be very useful. So thank you. I would lke to know more about the course that is running at Tafe in WA, is it available on line what age or year level is it aimed at. Look forward to hearing from you Marisa

Can you recommend schools for Dyslexia in Brisbane?…

Hi My son is 8 years old and has recently been tested as dyslexic and I was enquiring if you have any schools you could recommend in the Brisbane area and any programs or software that may assit

Hi,
I do not know of any schools that in way cater dyslexics in Australia. I am trying to set one up but it takes time, and anyway I am in Perth.
I am writing materials all the time and my new complete Dead Easy Phonics course in coming out next month, hopefully. In the meantime the best programs are the Nessy program from the Uk www.nessy.co.uk

My book Dyslexia – How to Win tells you a lot of things that are helpful. the rest of the material i sell will soon become a part of the new Dead Easy Phonics program. Mathletics is also the best I can suggest and can be found online at a cost of about $100 per year.
hope this helps
Cheers
dawn

Looking for a school focussing on Dyslexia

This came through to us but I wanted to share, just incase anyone else can assist.

Hi, my son has quite severe learning diffulculties in reading,writing and maths. He has been tested for dyslexia and the report shows he is dyslexic.
He is going to high school next year on the Gold Coast. Does anyone know of a school that would be good for him. We have found some schools so far don’t want to take on children with dyslexia and can’t offer any support.

hi,
thanks for your email. sorry, i do not know individual schools there. it has been my experience that you have t educate the teachers yourself. this is why i wrote the books in plain english to make it easy for them to understand.
let us know if you find a god one and we can then pass that information on to others.
thanks
dawn
