I will leave my blog here about the amazing assessment that was done for my 12 year old daughter (Hannah) last month. Hannah had a Skype assessment done here in QLD, live from Perth. Once we semi darkened the room and moved the laptop about, Dawn was able to see most of what she wanted too via the laptop camera.
Paying $200 for this service seems little in comparison to what I was quoted in Brisbane $600 for starters. It has been a relief to find out about Dyslexia and now Hannah and I can work together on it.’
She has just started high school here at James Nash, after being homeschooled and after a few discussions between the teachers, she has been able to stay in mainstream use a laptop and be placed in their new ‘digi’ class, class for mainstream kids to use computers etc….I have been really impressed at the willingness of the teachers to help her. I have made a special card for Hannah to show her teachers explaining how she learns best, i.e.) she needs hand outs etc.
Keep up the great work to all the parents out there and thanks to Dawn for seeing her artistic ability and abilities. Will keep you posted as I feel like we are making new grounds into the school- educating the educated. I am encouraging my wonderful daughter to pave the way for other dyslexics and others who have a different way of learning.
You will see me back as I have 7 other children, 4 of which could have some degree of dyslexia, but that will be another story,
Encourage others about the new way of testing via Skype, you will be amazed and blessed!!!

Thank you so much for the information. It is all a bit daunting now, I am really concerned about how my son will overcome his Dyspraxia. Do you know if there are any support groups in the Sutherland Shire area in NSW?

I wanted to leave a message to advise anyone and everyone to purchase Dawns book Dyslexia – How to Win. After my daughter was diagnosed by Dawn as being Dyslexic I purhcased her book and read it cover to cover. I also purchased her book for teachers and the parent guide. All are easy to read, are very interesting and include relevant case studies and behaviours relating to a dyslexic person and even non dyslexic people (such as myself).

This book allowed me to understand my child completely, like why she brings home the right book to do her homework, but can’t remember which excersises to do. Why she asks me again and again, “Can I wash my hair tonight, Mum?”, why it is hard for her to go to sleep, why she can’t do her homework while I talk to her little sister and why she still can’t spell simple words, especially when she has had a busy day a school.

To say I am grateful that we met and saw Dawn and then read her book would be the biggest understatement of my LIFE..
My daughter is and has always been very obviously intelligent so I no longer am frustrated by these things (mentioned above), as I understand WHY. I now NEVER get angry at homework time, or reading time, or when I am asked questions again and again as I understand the workings of a dyslexic brain as Dawn explains it.

I now know my daughter so well that I am able to go to her school and advise how SHE learns (very different to every other Child in the classroom) so teachers can specifically structure work for her which she understands. She WAS easily the lowest achiever in her classroom (despite her intelligence), but now having met with her teachers and discussed how she learns speicifically, she keeps up, is placed in the middle of her class, and her homework has redically reduced. We have also discovered many many things that she is quite brilliant at, (again in the book), and her teachers have allowed her to teach the class in these areas (you can’t imagine the improvement in self esteem).

The improvement in my whole families life, just by understanding and decreased pressure on my daughter, can NEVER be meassured. The cost of Dawns book in relation is the best spent money ever. (and not very much money at all)

Every school and every household should have one.
A heartfelt THANK YOU Dawn!
