Our therapists provide structured, effective instruction to support children in building essential literacy and numeracy skills.

 

If your child is experiencing difficulties at school, or is at risk of developing challenges with reading or maths, early intervention is key. We work one-on-one with each child to develop foundational skills in reading, writing and mathematics in a supportive and engaging way.

​

Sessions are tailored to your child’s individual learning profile, and home practice activities are provided between sessions to reinforce progress and build confidence.

​

We offer structured, evidence-based programs in both literacy and numeracy. These programs are multisensory and have been extensively researched, ensuring they are effective for children with a range of learning needs.

Educational therapy is suitable for children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, as well as those experiencing other learning challenges.

Understanding Assessments in Educational Therapy

Before starting therapy, we complete a placement assessment to understand your child’s current skill level. This helps us select the right program and starting point for targeted intervention.

A standardised assessment is different. It compares your child’s skills to other children of the same age and is typically used for diagnostic or reporting purposes.

 

We use a combination of brief, ongoing progress monitoring and periodic formal assessments to ensure intervention is targeted, effective, and responsive to each child’s needs.

 

Our Educational Therapy Programs

We use structured, evidence-based programs to support literacy and numeracy development:

• Spell Links – supports reading and spelling through phonological awareness, decoding and encoding
• Visualising & Verbalising (V&V) – builds comprehension and language processing skills
• Sentence/SQ Programs – supports written expression and sentence structure
• Math-U-See – develops conceptual understanding of mathematics
• Solve It! – supports mathematical reasoning and worded problem solving, particularly for students with ASD

Educational Therapy for NDIS Participants

Helping children build the skills they need for everyday life.

At Healthy Young Minds, we support children and young people to develop the learning and thinking skills they need for independence, confidence, and participation.

Our educational therapy focuses on functional skills like memory, attention, organisation, and everyday literacy and numeracy. Sessions are personalised to your child’s NDIS goals and delivered by a registered teacher experienced with neurodiverse learners.
