How do you say thank you to someone who has had such a profound impact on our lives? I cannot recommend Tracey highly enough. Her relatability to children is extraordinary as is her love and care. It is obviously she genuinely loves what she does. We were blessed to be referred to Tracey and even though the 2 weeks were perhaps the most intense my 6 year old and I had been though together we did it and not only did we come out the other side, what I have noticed in the past week since completion is a different child. Finn is now embracing his writing (now legible), taking pride n his school work, is impressed he can see the board and for him this week he achieved his first ever merit certificate at school for most improved in reading! We are getting there. And we can see light in the tunnel. The biggest thing for me is seeing my little boy take such pride and satisfaction in his work now which he is enjoying doing rather than the struggle it has previously been. We still have our moments, though they are fewer and less struggle. So blown away and only a week later.
Thank you Tracey!

Alison Lawson has treated three of my children – Cameron aged 14, Thomas aged 17 and Gretel aged 19 – for Dyslexia. Each has had trouble throughout their schooling and only recently was given a reason for such difficulties. Such a crippling disability has affected many areas of their lives including school grades and confidence.
Over 10 sessions each of my children were pushed visually and mentally to achieve what was said to be impossible – to be cured of dyslexia. Since their treatment all have shown remarkable improvement academically and in other areas.
Camerons’ grades and reading have improved. He has been promoted from playing back in soccer to a striker due to his improved shooting. Other sports such as ice hockey have also benefited.
Thomas is also now an avid reader and even reads on the way to school. He is now entering his final year of school and is more confident with his schoolwork and has marks to show for it. I used to buy the boys books but now they want to shop for themselves.Gretel has found her concentration and understanding has improved as she enters into her first year of University. Her reading has also improved in speed and accuracy.
On a personal level, Mrs Lawson treated my children with dignity and helped them regain their self-confidence. All areas affected by dyslexia were dealt with for long-term results. For this, I thank her and highly recommend her treatment to any child or adult with dyslexia.

Dear Maria,
I am writing to let you know how happy we are with Cameron’s progress since he was treated at the Alison Lawson Centre in Wyong.
Cameron was experiencing difficulties with his reading. He had trouble with the pronunciation of words, would omit or substitute words and was well below his reading age. Cameron had difficulty with spelling and story writing. Also, his handwriting was unruly and he often wrote letters incorrectly. In Maths he was not confident with his times tables and had trouble understanding problems, mainly due to his lower reading ability.
My husband and I have found Cameron to be a lot calmer and more confident since his treatment at the Alison Lawson Centre. We have noticed improvements in Cameron’s handwriting, reading, times tables and ability to retain information. Cameron’s speech is a lot clearer and his thoughts more organised. He even said he likes spelling!
Cameron’s teacher has noticed that he is able to work more independently over a longer period and is taking more responsibility for his own learning. Academically, his teacher said he is producing longer, more organised text. He is writing more grammatically correct sentences and has marked improvements in spelling and editing skills. His Maths has improved and he is able to grasp more complicated subjects and retain the information for longer periods of time.
In school sport and PE Cameron has shown increased confidence and an improvement in co-ordination skills. He wants to be involved in sporting activities at school.
During the time of Cameron attending the Alison Lawson Centre he received two Merit Awards for ‘Improved Handwriting’ from his teacher and at the end of semester, in the middle school assembly, he received a Principal’s Award for ‘Most Improved in PDHPE”.
Cameron’s tennis coach has also noticed improvements with his co-ordination and that Cameron is a lot calmer and more confident. The coach said recently, in some match play he beat the best child in the group. This was a first for Cameron!
My husband and I are delighted with the improvements Cameron has made so far and with continued support from home, school and tutoring he will continue to improve.
We are very grateful for the support, encouragement and dedication shown to Cameron during the ten-week program. The program was highly recommended to us and having experienced a positive outcome, we would not hesitate to recommend it as well.
Once again thank you,
Yours sincerely
Mrs M. Arnott
