Learning difficulties often overlap with attention, language and anxiety. Our clinic looks at the whole child — developmental history, learning style, emotional wellbeing, sleep and school context — before recommending next steps such as an educational-psychology assessment or school liaison. Send an enquiry to start a supportive conversation.
Overview
Difficulties with reading, writing, spelling or maths may reflect specific learning differences (like dyslexia) or overlap with attention, language or emotional factors.
We review the whole picture and refer for educational-psychology assessment where a formal cognitive profile is helpful. Where relevant, we coordinate with the school.
