About this video and your next step
When your child is finding learning difficult, start with the experiences you have noticed. Bring questions about reading, spelling, writing or maths to a conversation with school and our team.
DTC usually recommends dyslexia and handwriting assessments from age eight. For a younger child, ask about individual suitability, early support and the best time to assess.
Support does not need to wait for a diagnosis. A free screener can help you explore possible indicators, while a diagnostic assessment is a separate process.

Is your child struggling and you don't know why?
I often say I wish every one of my babies had come with their own manual.
One that explained how they learned, what they found difficult and how I could help them thrive.
But of course, no such manual exists. But that simple idea shaped everything we've created.
It inspired us to develop our cognitive profile because before you can support someone you first need to understand how they think, learn, process information and where their unique strengths lie.
From there we created ND Pathways to help people navigate the right assessments at the right time and for the right reasons.
Everything we do has one purpose to help every child, every adult and every family understand themselves, build on their strengths and unlock their true potential.
