If your child is struggling with reading, spelling, or writing, you’re likely searching for clear answers and a plan that actually works.

At Little Voices Speech Pathology, we specialise in comprehensive dyslexia assessments and evidence-based support, helping families understand why their child is struggling and what to do next.

We support families across Melbourne and via telehealth Australia-wide, with many travelling from regional Victoria and interstate for our specialised assessments.

Dyslexia assessments that go deeper…

Not all assessments are the same

We assess areas such as:

· Phonological processing

· Rapid naming

· Orthographic processing

· Working memory

· Reading and spelling development

This allows us to provide clear, practical recommendations, not just a label.

Our dyslexia assessments are designed to go beyond surface-level testing, exploring the underlying skills that impact reading, spelling, and written language.

· Targeted therapy for reading, spelling, and written language

· Support for older students, including writing, study skills, and assistive technology

· Guidance for parents, so you feel confident supporting your child at home

Our approach focuses on both skill development and confidence, helping children not just improve, but feel capable again.
