Every child learns differently. When a child is struggling with reading, attention, organisation, or confidence, a clear assessment can provide essential insight into how they think and learn.

Early identification of learning differences like dyslexia, ADHD, or executive functioning challenges can be life-changing — leading to timely support, reduced stress, and long-term academic and emotional confidence

Diagnostic & Early Intervention Assessments

  • I offer detailed, face-to-face assessments for children experiencing difficulties with literacy, numeracy, memory, processing, or general school progress. These explore potential learning differences and guide effective next steps.

As part of her school success strategies, Kate assists a secondary school student using a tablet.

School Success Strategies

  • I support children through school transitions, helping them develop confidence, self-advocacy skills, and approaches to exams, homework, and social challenges.
