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

I am so glad I discovered the ALCQ. It has improved her confidence in all areas already. She has also improved her reading and spelling and comprehension. My only wish is that I discovered The Alison Lawson Clinic earlier. Louisa at the Helensvale Clinic is a wonderful person for the job.
She is so patient and understanding and my daughter really enjoyed working with her. Thank you for finding a cure Alison, and thank you for opening a clinic at Helensvale.

Hello Tracey,
How are you? I just thought I would let you know that I got my results for my yearly exam for English today..and guess what I got 72% !! and I am so happy!! I don’t whether it’s the course I did or the new teacher I have got cause she is a lot better than the last and I mean a lot!!! I think it’s a bit of both!! But I can see that course has helped me sooo much thanx to you!!! For half yearly I only got 55% but I think this was partly because of the teacher as well! Cause he didn’t exactly teach us all the stuff!! I think this result is the best rest I have ever got for English!! I have gotten about 60% and 65% roughly but as far as my memory goes back I have not gotten this well!!! I also know my math mark that was for 5.2 math and I used to be 5.1 I got 65%!! I am also VERY pleased with this mark cause I only had all up about 12 weeks to learn all the different topics in 5.2 cause it’s a lot harder than 5.1!! but science was a bit dumb but I can’t be good at everything! I got 51% and for the half yearly I got 47%!! For all the marks I have got so far have been very improving so I am so happy thanx to all your help!!Thank you very much,

Completing the treatment at The Alison Lawson Centre QLD has turned my son from a child who was unable to read fluently, refused to read in front of others and could not remember sounds and blends; into one who reads every night, volunteers to stand up in class and read and spell with almost 100% accuracy.
I cannot believe the incredible improvement.
His teacher has noticed massive improvements with his confidence, writing and reading and with a few refinements to bring him up to speed, he will be in the top half of his class rather than the bottom.
Thank you time and time again.
