Between 1 and 3 students in every classroom in New South Wales may experience difficulties with learning. We can help.
SPELD NSW provides support, advice, learning and resources through the provision of professional learning and resources for educators, and advice, information and resources for families.
We are committed to early identification, effective intervention and support for children and adults with specific learning difficulties, like dyslexia.
