For over 20 years Rosemary Boon has been one of the most prominent psychologists dealing with learning difficulties and associated disorders. She is one of the professions' most sought after speakers, having addressed workshops and conferences in the United Kingdom and nationally.

Her methods are wholistic in approach and her teaching abilities are unparalleled.

A range of workshops designed for education and health professionals, students and parents include:

Reading, spelling and speech development depend on adequate auditory conceptual development – the ability to perceive the number, order, and identity of sounds in words and to represent those sounds symbolically. The concepts of the Lindamood Auditory Conceptualisation (LAC) Test and the Auditory Discrimination in Depth (ADD) Program presented in this course will enable you to prevent or remediate reading and spelling problems which are a result of this cognitive deficit. The Nanci Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing (V/V) Program stimulates the development of language comprehension and expression through the use of imagery which is the foundation of higher order thinking skills. These concepts also have a wide application to many speech and language problems and are supported by clinical and classroom studies and current brain research. These programs have been adapted to suit the needs of Australian students and can be used individually or in small groups.
