Our Literacy services are dedicated to supporting the crucial relationship between spoken language and reading and writing skills. We recognise that difficulties in literacy can have far-reaching effects on academic performance and self-confidence. Our therapists use evidence-based practices to address areas such as phonological awareness, decoding skills, reading fluency, and comprehension strategies. We incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive reading and writing exercises, to make learning literacy skills an enjoyable process.
We also focus on early literacy skills in younger children, laying a strong foundation for future reading and writing success. Our collaboration with educators and parents is key, ensuring that our therapy aligns with educational standards and supports classroom learning. By improving literacy skills, we aim to unlock each child’s potential for academic achievement and lifelong learning.
Literacy encompasses more than just the ability to read and write; it is the foundation upon which learning, communication, and critical thinking skills are built. It enables individuals to navigate the world around them, access information, and participate fully in society. At LEAP Centre, we understand that literacy development is a crucial aspect of education that can significantly influence a person’s academic trajectory and self-esteem.
A key component of our fluency support services is the Lidcombe Program. This program is a behavioural treatment for children who stutter, designed to be administered by a speech pathologist in collaboration with the child’s parents or caregivers. The Lidcombe Program is unique in that it involves parents in the treatment process, teaching them how to use specific techniques to reduce stuttering during their child’s daily interactions.
Based on the individual’s needs, we design tailored literacy programs that employ evidence-based strategies and interventions. These programs may include:
At LEAP Centre, we have a strong focus on supporting individuals with dyslexia and other specific learning differences that impact literacy. Our therapists utilise dyslexia-friendly teaching techniques and interventions, such as multisensory learning approaches, that can make a significant difference in how these individuals develop literacy skills. We strive to create an inclusive environment where every learner can thrive, regardless of their learning differences.
We believe that literacy development is a collaborative effort between our team, the individual, and their family. Parents and caregivers are integral to the success of our literacy programs, and we actively involve them in the process. This includes providing strategies and resources for supporting literacy development at home, as well as regular updates on progress and achievements.
The impact of our literacy support programs at LEAP Centre is evident in the progress and success stories of our clients. Improved literacy skills not only enhance academic performance but also boost confidence, independence, and engagement in learning. Our clients report increased enjoyment in reading, a greater willingness to participate in classroom activities, and a notable improvement in writing skills.
