Learning Challenges

When parents or schools make a referral for an assessment, their concern often involves challenges in learning from the student.  Learning challenges can come from many sources, including:

• Cognitive ability
• Learning disability
• Anxiety
• Mood difficulties
• Behavioural challenges
• Attentional weakness
• Trauma
• Unrealistic expectations

Each assessment is designed to find out which of these (often, more than one) are affecting the student’s learning, and to then provide realistic, practical strategies that the school and family can use to make a difference.  These areas are assessed in a variety of ways.
