💡5 Tips to Support Your Child with Dyslexia💡
If your child has dyslexia you don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to start helping them thrive.

Here are five ways you can make a real difference
1. Understand dyslexia. Learn what it really is (and isn’t!). Knowledge helps you see your child’s struggles in a new light.
2. Advocate for school support. Partner with teachers and push for the accommodations your child deserves.
3. Celebrate every win, progress is progress! Build your child’s confidence with encouragement and praise for effort, not perfection.
4. Focus on strengths. Dyslexia doesn’t define them. Nurture their passions and talents outside of reading and writing.
5. Seek community, you’re not alone. Connect with support groups and resources like for guidance and solidarity.

Remember: Your child’s journey isn’t about
“fixing” dyslexia, it’s about empowering them to learn in ways that work for them.

Celebrate their effort. Support their growth.
Believe in their potential.

Why choose a speech pathologist for a dyslexia diagnosis?

Did you know that speech pathologists are qualified to diagnose dyslexia?

Because we specialise in language, we look at more than just reading, we explore the skills underneath:
• phonological awareness
• word decoding
• spelling and writing
• memory, vocabulary, and comprehension

This gives you a full picture of your child’s learning profile, not just a test score.

From there, we can design a plan that’s practical, evidence based, and tailored to your child’s needs at school and home.

The relief that comes with clarity.

Now I finally understand my child, parent after a Little Voices assessment.

We see it every week, that moment of relief when a parent realises their child’s struggles make perfect sense.

An assessment doesn’t just give you a report. It gives you:
• language to explain your child’s needs
• evidence to advocate at school
• recommendations that actually work

If you’ve been told “just wait and see,” but your gut says something more is going on, trust that instinct!

Getting a clear diagnosis now means your child can get the right support sooner.

A DIAGNOSIS ISN’T A LABEL, IT’S A ROADMAP 🛣️

SO MANY PARENTS TELL ME, “I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON.”
THAT’S WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT COMES IN.

AT LITTLE VOICES, WE USE EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS TO LOOK BENEATH THE SURFACE, TO FIND OUT WHY READING, SPELLING, OR WRITING IS HARD.

A DIAGNOSIS DOESN’T BOX A CHILD IN; IT OPENS DOORS. IT GIVES CLARITY, TARGETED SUPPORT, AND PEACE OF MIND FOR PARENTS WHO’VE BEEN GUESSING FOR TOO LONG.

WE CAN FORMALLY DIAGNOSE DYSLEXIA AND LANGUAGE-BASED LEARNING DISORDERS, AND WE’LL WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT THAT MEANS AND WHAT TO DO NEXT.

CLARITY CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Even the were not treated with respect and understanding resulting in educational trauma and loss of well-being.

Almost every dyslexic celebrity talks about educational trauma which resulted in anxiety, depression, loss of self-esteem, loss of well-being, feelings of shame/inadequacy , addictions, mental health struggles, job stress, family stress or other life struggles despite outward success.

A diagnosis isn’t just a label, it’s a roadmap. 🚗
A good dyslexia assessment does more than say yes or no.
It helps answer why.
👉Why is reading so hard?
👉Where is the breakdown happening?
👉What kind of support will actually help?

When done properly, assessment gives you clarity, not confusion. It shines a light on your child’s strengths and shows the most effective way forward.

❌MYTH: “If they were smarter, they’d be able to read.”

✅TRUTH: Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence.

Your child can be bright, creative, and insightiul... and stil find reading hard.
It’s not about their potential it’s about how their brain processes language.

✍️ Handwriting is not outdated — it’s neuroscience in action.

✴️ Writing by hand is a full-body brain workout. It activates thinking, sensing, moving, and remembering — all at once. Each stroke engages fine motor control, sensory awareness, focused attention, and memory.

Typing is faster, but handwriting builds deeper neural connections and makes learning more lasting. It slows you down — in the best possible way — so your brain can truly absorb, not just record.

The new Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) are changing how we understand reading struggles. 📖

Traditional tests often focus only on outcomes, reading scores, spelling, comprehension.
The TOD looks deeper.
It helps uncover the why by exploring:
🔹 Phonological processing
🔹 Orthographic memory
🔹 Working memory and rapid naming
🔹 Language comprehension

That insight means we can tailor support to your child, not just their scores.
