Dyslexia-SPELD Foundation

Welcome

DSF Literacy and Clinical Services has provided vital support to West Australian children and adults with learning disabilities for over 30 years. It remains committed to improving the level of support provided to children and adults with learning disabilities and to the community's understanding of specific learning disabilities, in particular dyslexia.

DSF continues to focus on ensuring that children and adults with learning disabilities are supported adequately and appropriately, and that all students are provided with the opportunity to achieve their potential. In addition it provides advice and support to families and educators on successful literacy acquisition, evidence-based practice, and the strategies most likely to improve literacy outcomes for all students. Our role includes supporting and advising students, adults and families directly, as well as indirectly through the support and advice provided at a school or employment level.

DSF provides a number of services, including the provision of psychological services; professional learning courses; workshops for parents and students; yearly memberships; a bookshop and library.
