If you're unsure how to help your child then you've come to the right place. I will meet with you to hear your concerns, get a sense of your child's strengths and struggles, understand what you want to happen, make sense of past assessment results, get an idea about what interventions have been tried at school, and help develop a plan.
Sometimes it may take just one meeting for you to be clear about next steps - sometimes no further action is needed. Further assessment may help, however, and I can explain what assessments will be helpful and why.
