Literacy

What is literacy?

Literacy encompasses reading, writing and spelling. Children with literacy difficulties often end up being adults with literacy difficulties. It is NEVER too late to improve your literacy skills.

How we support literacy:

At Pop we have a special interest in literacy!

  • We use evidence-based, synthetic-phonics programs to target literacy.
  • We tailor each therapy program to suit you, working our way up from your level to achieve long term literacy goals.
  • We focus on function in adulthood > whether it be improving your confidence to make a social media post, or improving your presentation writing for excelling in the workplace, we have adults covered! 
Telehealth Literacy Training Services

Language

What is it?

  • Expressive language: vocabulary, spoken grammar, sentence structure and the ability to express yourself clearly.
  • Receptive Language: The ability to follow instructions, understand verbal and visual information.

How we support language:

  • We give you the strategies to be able to express yourself clearly. We focus on functional language goals that will have the greatest impact on your life long term.

Attention & Working Memory

What is it?

Your ability to attend to task, retain and manipulate information is more highly correlated with academic success than intelligence (IQ). Poor working memory can have an impact on your performance at work.

How we support attention and working memory:

  • We use evidence-based therapy methods based on neuroplasticity > the theory that the brain can be re-trained and conditioned through repetitions of the same task.
  • We teach you learning strategies that you can employ to compensate for attention & working memory difficulties.

What is it?
