The Glenleighden School
Based in the beautiful suburb of Fig Tree Pocket, The Glenleighden School was established in 1979 and is operated by Speech & Language Development Australia.
We offer a full educational experience tailored for children and young people with Language Disorder, including DLD.
Children with Language Disorder often have difficulties following directions, communicating in the classroom and/or regulating their behaviour. They frequently go unidentified, due to the fact that their poor language skills and academic performance are attributed to other issues.
Our individualised approach to education and therapy ensures our students are enabled to achieve extraordinary outcomes beyond what anyone imagined possible.
Rich and diverse learning opportunities are carefully crafted and delivered through a process of discovery, inquiry and exploration.
We target developmentally appropriate elements of the Australian Curriculum, with a strong focus on the General Capabilities in literacy, numeracy and personal/social wellbeing.
We look forward to working with you to help your child find their voice.
