Remarkable Improvement

Hi Maria, Thank you for all you have done. From a teachers comment he has no hope, to a catch up class that he could no longer attend as he wasn’t making progress like the other kids. We made the decision to enrol at the Alison Lawson Clinic with Maria, at the start Riley could barely Continue Reading

Our daughter Annika was struggling with reading, writing and maths. Returning to school in 2022 we realised how far behind Annika had slipped. She was just able to read basic books like Billy B Brown which she tried very hard to read, but struggled to comprehend, as she would loose the thread of the story due Continue Reading

Letter from Tracey (Perth, WA)

A huge thank you to Kelly-Jo, your professionalism, but most of all your kindness towards my daughter was immense.

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 Continue Reading

Mother of Olivia (age 17) QLD

Having attained the age of 17 years Olivia’s dyslexia had gone undetected despite numerous visits to the Optometrist for eye tests as a result of ongoing headaches. Finally I made contact with ALCQ and met Louisa who immediately diagnosed Olivia with Visual Dyslexia. Following 10 treatment sessions, the difference was amazing. Olivia became more organised, more articulate, Continue Reading

A letter from Mel, mother of 9yr old Heather

Our daughter was struggling with her reading and spelling, to the point that we were desperate for an intervention. The Alison Lawson Clinic was recommended via word of mouth and we made an appointment to see if our daughter indeed had dyslexia. After the 10 appointments of following the eye treatment the difference was profound. The Continue Reading

Amy’s Story

I went through most of my schooling absolutely hating reading and writing and anything that involved either one (which is pretty much everything at school) I would do anything to avoid reading. I forgot to bring my books, couldn’t remember where they were, ‘lost’ quite a few. I did well in most areas of school, so Continue Reading

A letter from Julie Renshaw

Our son was 4 yrs old when I realised that something was not registering with him with regards to recognising his name in written form.
