Learning Disorders

At Therapy 4 Learning we are passionate about the treatment of learning problems and disorders. In fact the service developed out of a desire to provide better treatment for children experiencing learning problems, that is better assessment and treatment than we were able to initially access for our own child with learning problems.

At Therapy 4 Learning you will receive compassionate, timely and effective therapy for your child. Therapy 4 Learning works as part of a network of professionals with a special interest in this area, so we can also refer you to other professionals at your request.
