Dyslexia

Jennifer Ee is a qualified Primary School Teacher a passionate educator, specialising in literacy and mathematics. She is also the parent of a child with autism, ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorder, low working memory and language delay.

 As such, Jennifer knows the challenges parents of children with Specific Learning Disorders face, and that education in these areas can feel very demanding and isolating. That’s why she started Language & Literacy Intervention Services. LALI Services vision is to see every child, teen, and adult reach their full potential through quality, targeted, and explicit intervention. 

When professional tutors and allied health professionals work together this enables greater participation in the learning environments, as well as increased academic confidence.

Reading comprehension is sometimes impaired due to very poor word reading skills.

Individuals with dyslexia often have deficits in phonemic and phonological awareness, which refer to the ability to hear, identify and manipulate the sound structure of a spoken word, including its phonemes, syllables, onsets and rhymes.

Individuals with dyslexia may also have impaired orthographic processing, which interferes with connecting letters and letter combinations with sounds accurately and fluently.

Dyslexia can impact:

• Word recognition
• Spelling
• Pronouncing written words
• Associating letters with the sounds they make
• Understanding syllables
• Identifying rhymes
• Hearing and identifying a spoken word
