Psychology & Behaviour Therapy

Children with learning disabilities often experience emotions that include frustration, poor self-image, anxiety, and depression. He or she may experience delays in social development and skills. He or she may also have other conditions related to the learning disability, which require separate treatment, therapy, and medications.

Getting help early is a first step in the right direction. And it’s good news that there are a variety of interventions to increase the likelihood of your child’s success in school and in life.

Our team works with other members of the care team that includes teachers, social workers, tutors, and others as necessary.

As children and adolescents grow, they are in a continual process of development. This natural course is filled with learning effective communication and coping skills to name a few; however children are incredibly perceptive and can be very sensitive to family stress and changes in their routine. During such times, your child can benefit from extra support.

If your child is showing behaviors that disrupt their normal routine for a prolonged amount of time, e.g., mood swings, low self-esteem, loss of energy, difficulty sleeping, changes in eating habits. Or, if your child is pulling away from you, siblings or friends; they may be going through something that needs extra attention.

Therapy can offer a safe space in which to address your child’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Understanding these gives every family the best chance to cultivate a healthy and happy family life.
