Dr Lauren Crumlish (PhD), Certified Practising Speech Pathologist

Reading, spelling and the spoken language underneath

Dr Lauren Crumlish works with children and teenagers who have dyslexia, and with those whose reading or spelling is behind and nobody has yet said why. As a speech pathologist she assesses reading, spelling and the spoken language skills that sit under them, such as hearing the sounds inside words. She then teaches those skills herself, in every session.

Her dyslexia tutoring is the same work. It is speech pathology, with the same session, the same fee and the same first assessment as her dyslexia therapy.

One clinician, by video

Dyslexia Therapy has one clinician. Families apply to work with Dr Lauren and, if a place is offered, it is Dr Lauren their child sees each time. Every session is by video, for families anywhere in Australia. See how online dyslexia therapy works and fees and funding.

What Dr Lauren does not do

• She does not diagnose dyslexia. Her assessment looks at reading, spelling and spoken language. A formal dyslexia diagnosis is usually made by a psychologist.
• She does not see families in person. There are no clinic or home visits.
• Sessions do not cover homework, assignments or subject tutoring. Those stay with the school or a subject tutor.
• She does not promise a result. Dyslexia is lifelong. Reading and spelling improve with explicit teaching, at a pace that differs from child to child.
