Does my child have learning difficulties?

Some children and teens have significant difficulties learning overall, or in just a few areas. Some signs of this may be:

Children may have global developmental delay or a developmental disorder. Or they may have specific learning difficulties with reading (dyslexia), written expression (dysgraphia), maths (dyscalculia) or attention (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). It is important for these children to have recognition of their needs and help as early as possible. Research has shown that early intervention improves their long-term outcomes, in learning, mental health and life.

Speak to your child’s teacher, head of year, and other parents if you are concerned.

I have been specifically trained in identifying the learning needs of children and young people. I have extensive experience in schools, private practice and public mental health services. I have helped many clients overcome challenges, improve their learning and develop important life skills. Contact us for more information about a psychology assessment for learning difficulties.
