About me
Teacher - Mother - Master's Student - Literacy Specialist - Learning Disability Advocate and Specialist - Microsoft Educator Expert
My name is Alana and I am a Perth based Teacher of over 14 years. I have taught a range of subjects and year levels but specialise in teaching students with a Learning Disorder such as Dyslexia or Dysgraphia.
If you have a child with a Learning Disability or Difficulty, I can help you navigate the future. I have many strategies that can be implemented in the classroom by your child's teacher as well as at home to support your child achieve the best outcomes possible.
I am a mother of two and understand the complexities of family life as well as the stress that can develop when a child is struggling in school.
I am passionate about educating students who struggle with schooling and as well as educating parents on their rights and options to support their child.
What is a Learning Disability?
A learning disability is defined as having difficulties in specific areas of academic achievement because of an underlying neurodevelopmental disorder
A specific learning disorder with an impairment in written expression, also known as Dysgraphia
A specific learning disorder with an impairment in reading, also known as Dyslexia
A specific learning disorder with an impairment in mathematics, also known as Dyscalculia
What is the Law?
Students adversely affected by learning disabilities are entitled under the Disability Discrimination Act, 1992 (DDA) to both a differentiated curricula and differentiated assessment.
The aim of the DDA is to ensure that all students are provided with access to the curriculum and are given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and understandings, on the same basis as their peers. The Australian Disability Standards for Education (2005) provides guidance to teachers, school administrators and parents on their rights and responsibilities with respect to the DDA.
