Consultations
An initial consultation with one of our experienced Psychologist is a crucial part of the assessment and therapy process. It provides parents with the opportunity to openly discuss concerns about their child’s learning, behaviour, or development to determine the best way to help their child. Parents may find such a consultation particularly useful if a child presents with a complex history of learning problems, or has previously seen several different professionals (eg, Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist etc). A thorough developmental history ensures that your child’s difficulties are accurately identified so that the most appropriate course of therapy, remediation or recommendations are made.
Assessment
A full range of assessment services is offered at the Inner West Child Psychology clinic at the Literacy and Learning Centre.
Our Psychologists are able to complete comprehensive assessment of reading, spelling, and learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
