The Dyslexia Speld Foundation Wa Inc
About
The Dyslexia-SPELD Foundation (DSF) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation based in South Perth, Western Australia, providing a range of services for individuals with persistent learning difficulties and disorders. Established in 1992, DSF offers advice and support to families, educators, and professionals on successful literacy acquisition, evidence-based practice, and strategies to improve literacy outcomes. The organisation operates as a centre of excellence in literacy development, serving children struggling with literacy and/or numeracy acquisition, regardless of whether they have been diagnosed with a learning disorder.
Tips for Applicants
Given DSF operates primarily as a service provider rather than a grant-maker, potential applicants should approach them for partnership opportunities, referral to their tutor register, or collaborative professional development initiatives rather than direct funding. Those seeking support should contact them directly for literacy tutoring, clinical assessments, or professional resources.
Giving Philosophy
DSF approaches its mission through direct service delivery rather than traditional grant-making, providing clinical services, tutoring, workshops, and resources to support individuals with learning difficulties. They value evidence-based practices and centre-of-excellence approaches to literacy development, focusing on practical support for students, adults, and families in Western Australia.
