Learning Difficulties

Academic & School

Evaluation and psycho-educational support for children facing reading difficulties (Dyslexia), writing struggles (Dysgraphia), and math challenges (Dyscalculia).

Specific Learning Disorders occur when a child's brain processes written or numerical information differently, creating a significant gap between intellectual potential and actual academic output.

  • Slow, hesitant reading; confusing similar letters (b/d, p/q) or words
  • Laborious handwriting, poor letter spacing, extreme hand cramping
  • Persistent difficulty memorizing multiplication tables, telling time, or word problems
  • Taking hours to finish standard 20-minute homework assignments
  • Differences in phonological processing, working memory, and visual-spatial mapping
  • Neurological language-processing differences with hereditary predisposition
  • Child labeling themselves as "stupid" and showing signs of school depression
  • Significant reading/math lag of 2 or more grade levels behind peers
  • Severe avoidance, somatic illness, or tearful defiance during homework
  • Formal psycho-educational diagnostic assessment and IQ-achievement testing
  • Multisensory remedial reading (Orton-Gillingham approach) and learning strategies
  • Guidance on educational board accommodations (extra time, scribe, calculator)
