If you are a parent in Sydney and you are concerned about your child’s learning, attention, or behaviour, you are not alone. Many families face challenges navigating the school system, understanding their child’s needs, and finding the right support. That’s where a child psychologist can make all the difference.
At the Literacy and Learning Centre, our experienced team of child psychologists in Sydney provides comprehensive assessments for children and teenagers. We help families get clarity on issues like ADHD, dyslexia, specific learning disorders, and other developmental concerns — and guide them toward the right support.
What Does a Child Psychologist Do?
A child psychologist is trained to understand how children think, learn, behave, and feel. Through in-depth assessments and evidence-based tools, we can identify:
- Learning disorders such as dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia
- Attention difficulties like ADHD
- Emotional or behavioural concerns
- Cognitive strengths and weaknesses
The goal is not just diagnosis, but to give you practical insight into how your child learns and how to help them succeed.
Signs Your Child Might Benefit from an Assessment
You might consider seeing a child psychologist in Sydney if your child:
- Struggles with reading, writing, or maths despite support
- Has trouble concentrating, staying organised, or following instructions
- Seems bright but underperforms at school
- Is often anxious, withdrawn, or frustrated with learning
- Has been recommended for testing by a teacher or GP
Why Choose the Literacy and Learning Centre?
We know that every child is different. Our Sydney-based team takes time to understand your child’s unique profile, using gold-standard assessment tools and a caring, personalised approach.
You’ll receive:
- A clear diagnosis (if applicable)
- A detailed written report
- Recommendations for school support and adjustments
- Guidance on next steps — including therapy, tutoring, or NDIS access if relevant
We also take the time to meet with you to explain the results in plain language and answer any questions.
