Katebee you are jn Australia right? I trotted my DD around various places in 2011 trying to get a formal dyslexia diagnosis. I got nowhere fast.
Last week I took her for an aspergers assessment with a specialist speech pathologist / pscychologist early development team (they are authorized by Medicare to diagnose autism). We got to the end and they declared that there was no question she was dyslexic (not why we were there) but they couldn't decide yet on the aspergers and will need to observer her at school.
I think in Australia a developmental speech pathologist (not therapist) is possibly your best bet for a dyslexia assessment. I would try calling a few and see what you think after chatting to them. They were certainly more use to us than the very expensive neuropsych who just waffled a lot.
