About SPELD NZ

Do you or your child have unexpected problems with reading, writing, spelling or maths? SPELD NZ can provide specialised help.

SPELD NZ is a not-for-profit, nationwide organisation registered with the Charities Commission. Since the 1970s, weve helped turn around the lives of many thousands of children and adults with specific learning disabilities (SLD) such as dyslexia. SPELD NZ methods are research based and proven to greatly enhance educational and cognitive ability.

How we can help

  • Comprehensive, diagnostic assessment for dyslexia and other SLD by qualified assessors with SPELD NZ training
  • One-on-one tuition by qualified teachers with specialised SPELD NZ training. This is an individualised learning programme, unique to the student. Our teachers use a multi-sensory approach that can greatly assist with phonemic awareness, spelling, reading fluency, comprehension, working memory, visual and auditory discrimination
  • Support, information and advice for families and whanau (eg. library - games, DVDs & books, magazine, website and Facebook)
  • A two day introductory course for parents, teachers, teacher aides and others to help understand and support people with SLD/dyslexia
  • A 400 hour course (mainly online) for teachers and other interested professionals who want a more in depth understanding of SLD/dyslexia and/or who may want to become SPELD NZ teachers.
  • Assessor training for people with appropriate qualifications. Please see http://www.speld.org.nz for more information.
