Help Every Victorian Child Achieve Their Learning Potential
SPELD Victoria is a membership based, not for profit organisation and registered charity. For the last 48 years we have worked to serve the estimated 1 in 10 Victorians with Specific Learning Difficulties (like Dyslexia). Today, our shared vision is that every Victorian child has the opportunity to reach their learning potential. We work with our members, government, schools and the community to make this vision a reality for children with SLDs(Specific Learning Difficulties). Currently many children with SLDs are undiagnosed and failing through the cracks. Dyslexia and SLD’s are not an intellectual disability, yet these children, their teachers and community often do not understand their condition. Frustratingly, their opportunity to achieve their learning potential is limited by this lack of understanding and systemic support. Sadly young people with SLDs are overrepresented as early school leavers in our prisons and mental health systems. We believe there is phenomenal potential for positive change in Victoria’s schools and workplaces if these children can learn in a way that suits them. There are countless examples of leaders in all fields who have succeeded without early diagnosis and specialist support. Imagine all these kids got support they needed when they needed it most. This is our shared challenge. SPELD does a few things to help. We: Provide Educational Assessments for people of all ages Provide specialist teaching (tutoring) for students with SLD’s Train teachers and schools to better support students with SLD’s Support people with SLD’s and those that work with and care for them through networks and information services Advocate as the peak body for SLD’s in Victoria and a member of the AUSPELD network nationally .
