Let’s clear up a few myths.
Hover over or tap a card to reveal the facts.
“People with dyslexia can’t read.”
Flip for the factMost people with dyslexia do learn to read. The challenge is the effort it takes. Skilled readers read automatically, quickly and with enjoyment, while children with dyslexia read slowly, inaccurately and with effort. For them, reading isn’t spontaneous.
“If you have dyslexia, you can’t be very smart.”
Flip for the factQuite the opposite. Some of the brightest minds in history and today have dyslexia. Dyslexia occurs in people of average, high-average and even above-average intelligence.

Ask a questionWhat is occupational therapy for children?
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need for everyday “occupations”: playing, learning, taking care of themselves and getting along with others. It focuses on things like motor skills, sensory processing, concentration and handwriting, through purposeful play.
What ages do you work with?
We help children of all ages, from babies as young as 4 months who aren’t reaching their milestones, to school-going children and teenagers. Hand injury rehabilitation and functional capacity evaluations are also available.
How do I know if my child needs an assessment?
If your child is clumsy, struggles to sit still, battles with reading, writing or copying from the board, or finds buttons, colouring and cutting difficult, an assessment can help you understand why. When in doubt, send us a WhatsApp and we’ll talk it through.
