Dyslexia Australia
|
|
|
Dyslexia Australia is dedicated to increasing the literacy of Australians of every age group. At Dyslexia Australia, we believe that dyslexia is a gift, not a learning disability, and treat our client with the respect they deserve. Most dyslexics are multi-dimensional thinkers. That simplified means that their imagination and their sense of how something is seen, is greatly enhanced. They are very intelligent, intuitive, curious about how things work, and imaginative.
