15/08/08 - The Mt. Isa Project
In 2004 at the request of parents, Margaret from Dyslexia Testing Services, Brisbane office, spent 4 days in Mt Isa assessing children to identify dyslexia or other learning disabilities. This trip was fully funded by parents. The following year after the opening of our Townsville office, Sue travelled to Mt Isa.
By 2006 our presence in Mt Isa had been noted and the local Neighbourhood Centre began to raise funds to subsidise annual trips for dyslexia testing. Our thanks go to Christine at the Neighbourhood Centre for achieving funding from Xstrata Mining Company and Sydney Myer Fund who have fully funded the trips to Mt Isa in 2007 and 2008. The logistics of the trips are considerable, as whilst it is easy for Sue to hop on a plane, the 20kg of assessment materials have to be freighted separately due to weight limitations on the light aircraft. Our thanks to Sue for willingly giving time, away from her family, for these trips.
We are very proud of our initiative to provide City services to remote families and applaud the local community for supporting us.
 
26/05/08 - Dore No More

Dore No More

The past week has seen Dore in Australia and UK go into voluntary administration.

Unfortunately this means that many families will lose the money that they have paid, for a service they will no longer receive.

We, at DTS would like to support those families through our service and advice so that the children affected still receive appropriate support for their dyslexia.

13/05/08 - How the brain learns to read

How the Brain Learns to Read Can Depend on the Language
Wall Street Journal May 2, 2008; Page A10

For generations, scholars have debated whether language constrains the ways we think. Now, neuroscientists studying reading disorders have begun to wonder whether the actual character of the text itself may shape the brain. For full article go to http://tinyurl.com/6c4gax

06/02/08 Support Teachers
Education Queensland has a discussion paper on the redevelopment of the role of the Support Teacher from 2009 involving the removal of the Appraisement Process.
The paper is long and very teacher oriented but there are questions posed at the end that are worth responding to and feedback is requested by 29th February 2008.
I believe that this planned reorganisation will not improve the situation for students with dyslexia and may even be more detrimental than the present one.
Please read and respond if you feel you are able to, with your personal experiences of how the system has treated your child. This is an EQ document but history shows that the private and Catholic sectors ultimately follow the EQ lead.
