Many
children need help to
master the skills that are so important for them to achieve their best
at school and that open the door to opportunities in work and higher
education later in life.
It is estimated that between 10 to 20% of children will experience mild
to moderate learning difficulties at school, while 5% will have ongoing
and severe problems despite receiving extra help. 80% of children
identified as having learning difficulties at school have problems with
literacy.

A comprehensive assessment
at the Literacy and Learning Centre identifies why children are having
these problems and what to do to help (click

about our assessment service)
The results of comprehensive testing form the basis for detailed
recommendations or referral to our remedial
tutoring
programme for help that is tailored to your child’s identified
difficulties (click here to find

service)
Support from a Clinical
Psychologist
is also available to help children boost their self-esteem and learn
strategies to manage other problems they may be experiencing, such as
anxiety (click
