Literacy Care

We are a private special education consultancy providing specialised treatment exclusively for children (ages 6 -12) who have specific learning disabilities.

Learning disabilities like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, as well as verbal- and non-verbal disorders are highly treatable. Successfully overcoming learning and developmental disorders is achieved through interdisciplinary treatment, utilising a highly-collaborative and cooperative team with a single and well designed treatment plan.

Thank you so much for all the help you have given us with Kaila. You have been instrumental in helping us isolate and improve her challenges in spelling. She is so much more confident and doing better in all areas at school as a result. Thank you!

[Our son]'s results have been very exciting and we are very grateful for your help. His improvements have not only been academic but also in his general confidence, which is fabulous. His progress has certainly been remarkable to date (reading a relatively complex book to his sister this morning on the couch was a moment that I didn't think I would see for a long time ...).

I just wanted to let you know that Sam got an OP 8 and has been offered a place in a “Dual Degree in Business and Exercise Physiology”. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support over the last 7 years. Sam could not have gotten this far without your guidance and support.

I thought you may like to have a look at Chris' recent report card, as you were instrumental in enabling him to achieve these results.

We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done to help Alex with his reading. Your intervention has had a profound effect on both his reading skills and confidence and has literally been life changing for him.

Thanks for your time. Once again we thank you for your wonderful work and support of our son.

It became evident from a very young age that, despite being a confident, intelligent and outgoing child, our son’s reading and writing skills were not developing at the same pace as other children his age ... it was not until we took our son to the Child Development Network that our suspicions of Dyslexia were confirmed.

... the teaching methods applied by Dr McGowan dramatically improved our son’s reading and writing skills ...

With thanks ... our son has grown into a sociable, self-confident young man with a bright future.

Two and a half years ago, Darcy’s teachers really had no idea how to teach him to read and spell. You were the only person who told us that you could teach him how to read. And you were right. Here he is now, two years later, reading chapter books (unprompted and enjoying the experience).

Darcy also had a good first semester at school. He got a C for English and for most of his other subjects (plus a few B’s).

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done for us.

Ben, Sabine and I, have really appreciated your assistance and guidance. It has been logical, professional and personalised.

Thank you so very much for your review of Will. I felt so relieved that, thanks to your assessment, ... this will hopefully help to level the academic playing field, allowing Will's true intelligence to be fairly assessed

What an incredibly important career path you have chosen to excel in and the positive impact you have on children’s lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You have been a fantastic influence on [name withheld]. I am grateful for the day our paths crossed. There are not enough words to describe the impact you have had on her and her academic progress. I cannot thank you enough for your patience, help, kindness and support. You took the time to completely ‘get her’, and thereby understanding what makes her tick. You are a born educator, the right personality in the right job. I cannot thank you enough.

Please thank Jason on our behalf for his presentation and the effort he has put into resources for our teachers. Much appreciated.

I will forever be grateful to Jason and, of course, Literacy Care, for helping Will have every opportunity in life available to him. I have personally experienced first-hand the struggle of children with dyslexia and the massive impact that a learning disability can have on a child’s sense of self. My then 7 ½ year old son, was referred for literacy intervention In June 2016 – at that time he had a reading age of six years. Will started formal intervention in late August 2016 and completed it in September 2017. At his three-month post literacy intervention review – then just over 9 years of age – he had progressed to a reading development age of around 10 ½ years. The age differential belies the profound impact that the development of his reading has had on the trajectory of his life. He now has the confidence to express his ideas, speak in class, enjoy his homework and yes, even read in class groups! But more importantly, he no longer believes he is “stupid” and appreciates his dyslexia is not a “disability” for life but is responsible for his exceptional ability to “think outside the box” and see solutions where others see problems.
