CHI.L.D. Association operates The Glenleighden School, established in 1979 at Fig Tree Pocket in Brisbane's western suburbs. The school caters specifically for children with severe childhood language and related disorders and is the only facility of its kind in Australia.
The Glenleighden School caters for children from preschool through to secondary age and provides comprehensive, intensive multi-disciplinary programs which are highly individualised and address the full scope of the students' developmental and learning needs. There are four distinct levels in the school, Early Childhood, Junior School, Middle School and Senior School. The Glenleighden School uses a model of integrated, specialist provision and the school constantly aims to be a ‘centre of excellence' in this field of disability. read more> CHI.L.D. is an incorporated voluntary organisation and registered charity whose constitutional charter is to serve the interests of children and young people with childhood language and related disorders through the promotion and provision of essential services.
