Helping your child become a successful and happy communicator.

Dyslexia Assessments and Support for Children — Melbourne & Australia-Wide

If your child is struggling with reading, spelling, or writing, you’re likely searching for clear answers and a plan that actually works.

At Little Voices Speech Pathology, we specialise in comprehensive dyslexia assessments and evidence-based support, helping families understand why their child is struggling and what to do next.

We support families across Melbourne and via telehealth Australia-wide, with many travelling from regional Victoria and interstate for our specialised assessments.

Our Core Values

Empathy

Community

At Little Voices, we’re committed to creating a supportive community where families can find dyslexia support, understand their child’s needs, and gain confidence through expert guidance in communication, mental health, and self-advocacy. Our mission is to offer a space where collaboration, compassion and excellence can flourish.

Expertise

Get clarity, NOT confusion

Many parents come to us feeling:

· Unsure if their child’s difficulties are “normal” or something more

· Frustrated by mixed messages from school

· Worried about their child’s confidence and long-term learning

Our role is to bring you clarity. Through detailed assessment and personalised guidance, we help you:

· Understand your child’s unique learning profile

· Identify whether dyslexia is present

· Know exactly what support your child needs

· Feel confident navigating school and next steps

Dyslexia assessments that go deeper…

Not all assessments are the same

We assess areas such as:

· Phonological processing

· Rapid naming

· Orthographic processing

· Working memory

· Reading and spelling development

This allows us to provide clear, practical recommendations, not just a label.

Our dyslexia assessments are designed to go beyond surface-level testing, exploring the underlying skills that impact reading, spelling, and written language.

Support that doesn’t stop at assessment

Understanding your child is just the beginning.

We also provide:

· Structured literacy intervention using evidence-based approaches

· Targeted therapy for reading, spelling, and written language

· Support for older students, including writing, study skills, and assistive technology

· Guidance for parents, so you feel confident supporting your child at home

Our approach focuses on both skill development and confidence, helping children not just improve, but feel capable again.

Telehealth support across Australia

We work with families beyond Melbourne through telehealth.

This is ideal for:

· Families in regional or rural areas

· Those seeking specialised dyslexia expertise

· Students who benefit from learning in their home environment

Depending on your child’s needs, parts of the assessment and ongoing support can be completed via telehealth.

Why families choose Little Voices


Families often come to us feeling stuck, and stay because they finally feel understood. Our approach is different through our specialist focus on dyslexia and literacy, clear and parent friendly communication, and an evidence-based, structured literacy approach. We also support the whole child, including confidence and wellbeing and continue guiding families beyond the assessment.

You don’t have to wait for things to get worse…

If your child is struggling, early understanding makes a significant difference.

Whether you’re:

· Wondering if your child may have dyslexia

· Recently received a diagnosis

· Feeling unsure what to do next

We’re here to help you take the next step with clarity and confidence.
