History

Speld Qld was founded in 1969 by Patricia Savage, an inspirational woman who wanted to ensure her child received the very best education. Since its inception Speld Qld has grown and developed ensuring the needs of its members are met. In October 2014, Speld rebranded and refocussed its attention, with a promise to ensure our services and professional development are accessible for those in regional, rural and isolated areas of the State. Speld Qld is a state wide organisation working with State, Catholic and Independent schools and also offering services to training organisations and workplaces. Working with families and teachers, our not for profit organisation provides evidence-based advice and services to assist students to meet their individual educational needs.
