SPELADD can make an appointment for you with a trained and experienced assessor who will use a number of specialised tests to determine your/your child's areas of strength and weakness in a number of areas related to learning. This will determine if a SPELADD tutor may be able to help and what underpinning areas will need to be targeted.

The SPELADD assessment takes 1.5-2 hours and parents are encouraged to attend with their child. Unfortunately, as we receive no government funding we must charge the following fees.

Annual Membership Subscription	$60
SPELADD Test	$120
TOTAL	$180
Re-Tests Corporate Clients	$70 $290

For further information or for an application form to make an appointment for an assessment contact the SPELADD Office

A SPELADD assessment may recommend you/your child have one or more years with a tutor. The office is able to assign you a SPELADD trained tutor who will work with your child, usually for an hour a week.

Most parents find a time early morning or during school hours works best for younger students and schools are generally happy to allow a child to have time off school for this. Many schools allow a tutor to come and work with a child in the school. If a child does not want tuition in school time try for before or after school.

All our tutors are certificated teachers and have also undergone a 75 hour training course and have completed a written assignment in the area of specific learning disabilities. The general charge is $20 a lesson, $25 if transport is involved for the tutor. Sometimes subsidies are available from the SPELADD office for those on limited incomes.
