Our Services

A full reading assessment is conducted based on the child's age. We measure reading vocabulary, comprehension on both silent and out loud reading, decoding ability, reading speed and reading accuracy. Our tests incorporate both single word reading and passage reading. A comprehensive report is issued to parents and recommendations for improving skill.

We also conduct the Fawcett and Nicholson Dyslexia Screening test.

We are proud to offer the revolutionary Cellfield reading programme. Cellfield targets a learning disability that applies specifically to reading. Advanced brain scanning has shown that reading disabilities have causes that include not only the auditory/language processing areas of the brain, but also the visual processing areas, in particular, the bridging areas in between.

At The Workshop Reading Centre, we offer one-on-one remedial reading. Following a psychometric assessment to isolate the specific areas of difficulty, sessions are structured to address the need specific to each child.

Sessions are typically 45 minutes, once or twice a week. For younger children, the focus is on solidifying foundation phonological skills and developing fluency. For older children, we address comprehension skills, which are vital, not only in English, but a skill that is necessary in all testing and exam situations.

Speech and language therapy aims to assist children struggling with speech and/or language difficulties. Language therapy addresses receptive and expressive language delays, while speech therapy addresses articulation delays, phonological processes, childhood apraxia of speech, and fluency (stuttering). Sessions also address literacy-based speech and language difficulties.

Our special wellness counselling services specialise in empowering young individuals to navigate life's complexities with confidence, resilience, and joy. We offer child and teen counselling, as well as support for young adults transitioning into adulthood.

We offer workshops for teachers and parents, including 'Experiencing the Child with Learning Difficulties' and Inferential Reading Workshops. These provide practical insight into the daily challenges faced by children with learning barriers.
