✨... And that’s a wrap for my not-so-little E for the year!

I don’t know if that big smile is because he doesn’t have to see me for the rest of the year… or because he knows how hard he’s worked! 😆

To all the kids finishing up this year, your effort and resilience have been incredible! You’ve pushed through tricky tasks and kept trying when things felt confusing or frustrating. Every tiny step you’ve taken has added up to real progress and you should be so proud of yourselves! 💝

To all the amazing parents- thank you for showing up even on tough days, supporting practice at home and walking this journey with your children! Your hard work is not left unnoticed and our job as speech pathologists is so much better (and so much more meaningful) because of you. 💛🙌

October is Dyslexia awareness month!
Resharing this to give more awareness what dyslexia is and its related symptoms.

This week is World Dyslexia Week! We're resharing our insights on Dyslexia to raise awareness and help others understand it better.

What is Dyslexia?

It is a specific learning disorder that predominantly affects reading skills. It involves challenges in accurately and fluently recognizing words, spelling, and decoding written language.

Children with Dyslexia may struggle with tasks such as reading comprehension, phonological awareness, and word retrieval.

It's important to note that Dyslexia is a neurobiological condition that can vary in its severity and impact from person to person.

Some symptoms of Dyslexia according to Australian Dyslexia Association are:

➡️Problems learning sound- letter and letter-sound matching for reading and spelling.
➡️Difficulty in sounding out and quickly recognising single words.
➡️Reading slowly with many mistakes and difficulty recognising familiar, high- frequency words from one line to the next in a text.
➡️Poor spelling (associated with accompanying Dysgraphia)
➡️Poor visual gestalt / coding (orthographic coding)
➡️Reading comprehension can be impeded as a result of the above and/or poor language processing development.

❗️Early detection and intervention is important to assist the child suspected of Dyslexia.

What is the benefit of seeing a Speech Pathologist in relation to Dyslexia?

✔️A Speech Pathologist can investigate or rule out any other underlying conditions such as auditory processing disorder, dyspraxia (by referring to an OT when indicated) , and/or speech or language disorder.

✔️ A Speech Pathologist can perform a full assessment of speech, language, auditory processing, auditory perceptual, reading comprehension and written language skills and can (with additional training/special interest in literacy skills) give a formal diagnosis of Specific Learning Impairments in Dyslexia (and Dysgraphia which we will post about in the future).

✔️A Speech Pathologist can provide evidence-based therapy tailor-made for your specific child’s needs according to the outcomes of the assessment.

✔️ A Speech Pathologist can target speech production and language difficulties (that may underpin literacy difficulties), as well as literacy-based challenges all within the same targeted therapy session.

Triple L Speech Pathology and Audiology is committed to helping individuals with Dyslexia reach their full potential. Our team has years of experience in providing assessments and interventions that address the unique challenges of Dyslexia and related disorders. If you or someone you know is seeking support, reach out to Triple L and let us guide you towards better communication and literacy skills.

"Speech Pathologists are highly educated and trained Allied Health professionals who diagnose and treat a range of disorders that affect a child's ability to communicate."

A Speech Pathologist can investigate and rule out any underlying causes of literacy issues or challenges. It’s so important to ensure there are no underlying speech, language, or auditory processing difficulties first.

They also work closely with occupational therapists and audiologists to make sure children receive the right support from the start.

What is Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)?

APD occurs when a child hears sounds normally, but their brain has difficulty processing and making sense of what they hear.

In this article, we outline some of the common signs and symptoms to look out for!
