Learning difficulties such as dyslexia are fairly common and affects individuals in various ways, but with the right support, success is possible. 

At Integrated Wellness Clinic, our team of experienced educational psychologists are confident in diagnosing and supporting individuals with dyslexia. Here’s why seeking an assessment with our psychologists can be a transformative step towards overcoming challenges and unlocking hidden talents:

1. Comprehensive and up-to-date Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia Assessments: Our educational psychologists conduct comprehensive assessments  through a range of tests and observations, we identify the signs of dyslexia and provide a detailed understanding of the individual’s learning profile. We utilise cognitive assessment (WISC) and Woodstock Johnson assessment for academic skills assessment. This ensures a well rounded approach.  

2. Early Intervention for children and teens: Identifying dyslexia early is crucial for effective intervention. With early diagnosis, appropriate strategies can be implemented to address difficulties and prevent potential academic and emotional challenges. Our psychologists work closely with clients, families, and educators to develop personalised intervention plans that empower individuals to thrive academically and socially.

3. Building Self-Esteem: Living with dyslexia can impact self-esteem and confidence. Our psychologists offer a supportive and empathetic environment where individuals can explore their strengths and challenges without judgment. By fostering a positive self-image and promoting self-advocacy skills, we empower individuals with dyslexia to embrace their unique abilities and pursue their goals with confidence.

4. Holistic Approach: Dyslexia can coexist with other learning differences and challenges. Our educational psychologists take a holistic approach, considering the individual’s cognitive, emotional, and social well-being. We collaborate with other professionals, such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, and special educators, to provide comprehensive support that addresses all aspects of the individual’s development.

What is an Educational Psychologist? 

An educational psychologist is a professional who specialises in understanding how individuals learn and develop within educational settings. They utilise psychological principles and assessments to identify learning difficulties, emotional challenges, and behavioural issues that may impact academic performance. Educational psychologists work collaboratively with students, teachers, parents, and other professionals to develop tailored intervention plans aimed at addressing specific needs, promoting academic success, and fostering overall well-being. Through assessment, intervention, and advocacy, they strive to create inclusive learning environments where all individuals can thrive and reach their full potential.
