Learning Difficulties

Learning difficulties can affect a young person's ability to acquire, process, or retain information, making school and daily learning experiences more challenging. These difficulties can impact skills such as reading, writing, mathematics, comprehension, memory, and problem-solving. Common learning difficulties include dyslexia (reading and spelling challenges), dyscalculia (math difficulties), and dysgraphia (writing difficulties).

While learning difficulties are not a reflection of intelligence, they can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety if left unsupported. Young people may struggle with confidence in the classroom, avoid academic tasks, or experience emotional distress related to school performance.

At Future Minds Psychology, we provide support for young people with learning difficulties by:

• Psychometric assessments to identify cognitive and academic strengths and challenges.
• Individualized strategies to enhance learning, memory, and executive functioning.
• Emotional support to build confidence, resilience, and a positive self-concept.
• Collaboration with parents, teachers, and allied health professionals to create tailored interventions and accommodations.

With the right support, young people can develop effective learning strategies, build confidence, and reach their full potential. If your child is struggling academically, early intervention can help pave the way for success.
