Highly Recommended

Our daughter Annika was struggling with reading, writing and maths. Returning to school in 2022 we realised how far behind Annika had slipped. She was just able to read basic books like Billy B Brown which she tried very hard to read, but struggled to comprehend, as she would loose the thread of the story due Continue Reading

Letter from Tracey (Perth, WA)

A huge thank you to Kelly-Jo, your professionalism, but most of all your kindness towards my daughter was immense.

Letter from Elizabeth Van-Lane – Sydney

Alison Lawson has treated three of my children – Cameron aged 14, Thomas aged 17 and Gretel aged 19 – for Dyslexia. Each has had trouble throughout their schooling and only recently was given a reason for such difficulties. Such a crippling disability has affected many areas of their lives including school grades and confidence. Over Continue Reading

Mother of Olivia (age 17) QLD

Having attained the age of 17 years Olivia’s dyslexia had gone undetected despite numerous visits to the Optometrist for eye tests as a result of ongoing headaches. Finally I made contact with ALCQ and met Louisa who immediately diagnosed Olivia with Visual Dyslexia. Following 10 treatment sessions, the difference was amazing. Olivia became more organised, more articulate, Continue Reading

A letter from Mel, mother of 9yr old Heather

Our daughter was struggling with her reading and spelling, to the point that we were desperate for an intervention. The Alison Lawson Clinic was recommended via word of mouth and we made an appointment to see if our daughter indeed had dyslexia. After the 10 appointments of following the eye treatment the difference was profound. The Continue Reading

Amy’s Story

I went through most of my schooling absolutely hating reading and writing and anything that involved either one (which is pretty much everything at school) I would do anything to avoid reading. I forgot to bring my books, couldn’t remember where they were, ‘lost’ quite a few. I did well in most areas of school, so Continue Reading

Amy July 12, 2015

A letter from Susan E. Dorsen

Dear Mrs Lawson I am writing to say how much we have appreciated your work as an Orthoptist in connection with our son, Simon.

Before we Continue Reading

A letter from Julie Renshaw

Our son was 4 yrs old when I realised that something was not registering with him with regards to recognising his name in written form. I had often encouraged our son to trace his name-keeping in mind to always keep this activity fun. He had NO interest in this, or even in picking up a pencil, Continue Reading

Katherine, mother of Finn

How do you say thank you to someone who has had such a profound impact on our lives? I cannot recommend Tracey highly enough. Her relatability to children is extraordinary as is her love and care.

Letter from Allyson (45 years old)

I have had incredible changes from the LASD treatment. It has enabled me to experience life with more ease.   Driving • Increased driving confidence and a reduction in anxiety attacks that would plague me to the point I was anxious to drive. Now I enjoy going out and about driving, with confidence I can control Continue Reading

Allyson November 17, 2014

Letter from Liz

The treatment surpassed what I had imagined. I found that not only was the children’s macula treated but they were also taught many literacy skills. I had not expected the attention paid to their handwriting, sentence structure and other literacy skills.

Liz October 12, 2014

Thank you from Suzanne and Brett

We are so grateful for changing our beautiful daughter Ciara’s life! She now reads easily and with confidence. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A letter from Daryl Grewar

Tina and myself have seen a huge improvement in Joel over the last ten weeks in both his behavior and mainly his school work. He is now the first of our children up and ready for school every morning and not the last. Thank you.

Daryl Grewar May 12, 2014

Mother of Huxley (age 7), QLD

My child’s personality changed for the better; even temperament, enabling him to think through and process new things and information easily. He’d had difficulty seeing red clearly, sometimes appearing as brown. After the treatment he saw all shades of red as red! He now reads books for pleasure and can take in the story and retell Continue Reading

Letter from Katrina Miller (Central Coast)

The treatment seems to have worked beyond my expectations. The quality of the remedial side of the treatment was an unexpected surprise and has given us and Ally the tools required for future learning. One of the main things this has given Ally is confidence and I thank you for this.

Katrina Miller February 12, 2014

Rosemary, mother of Peter

Really happy with treatment. My son Peter, had the treatment starting May and finished in September. His half year reports and exam reports were as expected – not great. End of year the teacher made the comment that his improvement was outstanding – and they were really pleased with him!! We would recommend the treatment to Continue Reading

Rosemary December 12, 2013

Rosie, mother of Lillian

Today marks the end of a very big 10 weeks as my daughter successfully completed the program with Tracey at The Alison Lawson Centre-Blue Mountains! Before we began my daughter was struggling. She found everything ‘hard’ at school. Headaches, reversing every second number, reversing letters, and losing her place reading. She would come home frustrated with Continue Reading

Rosie November 12, 2013

Letter from Russell

There is no doubt the treatment was extremely effective. This was quite amazing in such a short period of time. We sought rapid assistance so Byron could hopefully catch up on his school work, for which he had been slipping behind. Since the treatment he has caught up on his school work, his marks improved and Continue Reading

Russell October 12, 2013

A letter from Mrs M. Arnott

Dear Maria, I am writing to let you know how happy we are with Cameron’s progress since he was treated at the Alison Lawson Centre in Wyong.

Mother of Emily (age 10), NSW

I am so glad I discovered the ALCQ. It has improved her confidence in all areas already. She has also improved her reading and spelling and comprehension.

Mother of Aiden (age 8) QLD

Completing the treatment at The Alison Lawson Centre QLD has turned my son from a child who was unable to read fluently, refused to read in front of others and could not remember sounds and blends; into one who reads every night, volunteers to stand up in class and read and spell with almost 100% accuracy. Continue Reading

A letter from Mary

When our eye specialist referred us to the Alison Lawson Centre in Canberra, we didn’t know what to expect or what the benefits would really be like. But my son Peter, from a level 5 reader, has jumped to a level 9 just after seven sessions with Karen. He now enjoys reading and writing, and his Continue Reading

Mary April 12, 2013

Letter from Karen

I put my faith in the treatment; my nursing background helped me understanding the process. Some immediate results of the therapy were changes in Lucy’s handwriting, accuracy in reading and an improved reading level.

Karen March 12, 2013

Father of Monte (age 12), QLD

After spending thousands of dollars on programmes, tutors and materials trying to help our son learn to read, the most effective outcomes have been achieved through attending the Alison Lawson Centre. The first week he could not read an age appropriate novel, the second week he could. We have not looked back and now he reads Continue Reading

Noel, aged 66, QLD

I was to a point of frustration with my office work; I required extra bright lighting in order to see enough detail. My spectacles seemed to not be suitable. I got new ones with very little improvement. I went back to the optometrist for a reassessment. They insisted the prescription was right. I decided to visit Continue Reading

Noel March 1, 2013

Robyn, mother of Gus, 9 year old boy

Elisa, mother of Daniel

Tracey Heslop treated my son Daniel with the LASD unit and treatment. He complied with the program even though the first couple of weeks it was really difficult for Daniel (aged 9).

Elisa August 12, 2012

Letter from a client

My son, 7yrs old attended the Alison Lawson Clinic, after struggling with literacy based tasks. Even with my experience as a primary teacher, I just could not find strategies to help him progress with reading, writing, spelling or retaining information. After attending the 10 weekly sessions, my son has moved up 6 reading levels, writes lengthy Continue Reading

Letter from Natalie

The treatment was very intense, more so than we anticipated, but the results were definitely worth the efforts.

He also enjoyed being able to learn how to Continue Reading

Dear Maria, Before attending The Alison Lawson Centre, my son Lachlan had been plagued with appalling spelling, appalling reading skills, poor concentration, constant arguments to get him to do homework, unreadable handwriting, constant headaches and lot’s of complaints about going to school unless sport was involved. I had asked all his teachers from kindergarten up if Continue Reading
