Media & Interviews

This presentation provides a brief overview of dyslexia, explaining what it is, how it affects learning, and why early identification and evidence-based support are essential. Designed for parents, carers, and educators, the video highlights the importance of Structured Literacy approaches and the role of professional guidance in supporting children with dyslexia. This video has been deliberately slowed down to assist reading. Written and designed by Phoebe McAllan and Heidi Gregory and edited by Kate Perston.

🔍 Examining Dyslexia Facts: What You Need to Know There’s a lot of misinformation about dyslexia, and it can be tough for parents and carers to separate fact from fiction. Understanding the science behind dyslexia is key to advocating for the right support.

It was an absolute honour to engage in a conversation with Heidi about her Chapter, Show Me The Evidence in Education. Heidi generously shared her Education journey, which commenced as a parent and morphed into parent advocacy and much more. Heidi generously shared the following points: - Her children's diagnoses and their journey from assessments to understanding what this meant for them. - The grief that results from the diagnoses. - The books that were pivotal in Heidi's journey of understanding dyslexia and the explicit teaching her children would benefit from. - The importance of the allied health professionals (Psychologists and Speech Pathologists) involved in the wrap-around support. - Her role as an activist, the founder of Dyslexia Victoria Support Group (a Facebook group with 10,300 members) and the Vice President of SPELD Victoria.
