Learning disorders are specific difficulties with academic skills (reading, writing, math) that are not due to intelligence, sensory impairment, or lack of opportunity, and they often require specialized teaching approaches.
We assess learning needs carefully to help guide the most appropriate educational support.
Often a helpful starting point when attention or impulse-related concerns are clearly recognised by you and others (such as teachers), there are no other developmental concerns, and you’re seeking medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment options.
Often helpful when attention concerns are suspected but not clear-cut, when schools or other services have requested standardised information, or when you’d like a detailed understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges.

Helps identify the best starting pathway
Your responses suggest that a comprehensive learning assessment may be the most helpful starting point. Formal assessment can clarify your child’s learning profile, identify strengths and challenges, and provide standardised evidence to support educational planning, adjustments, or access to services.
It’s helpful to know: Learning assessments focus on understanding how your child learns and do not involve medical treatment. A paediatrician may still be involved to support broader developmental monitoring or to address any co-occurring concerns.
Based on your responses, a paediatric consultation is the most appropriate place to start. When learning difficulties may be influenced by medical, developmental, emotional, or contextual factors, a paediatrician can help review the broader picture and guide next steps.
This may include recommending a learning assessment at a later stage, once these factors have been considered or addressed.
Once you’ve chosen your specialist, you can request an assessment directly through our booking system. Our team will confirm and send pre-assessment information.
Before the assessment, you may be asked to complete questionnaires about your child’s learning history. Bringing recent school reports is very helpful.
Assessments typically involve standardised tests of reading, writing, and cognitive ability. Results are provided in a detailed report with recommendations for school and home support.

Before your appointment, think about the specific concerns you’d like to discuss. It can be helpful to bring any school reports or feedback from teachers.
The paediatrician will take time to understand your child’s history, listen to your concerns, and discuss next steps. Appointments are thorough and unhurried.
