Understanding Anxiety
Learning disabilities including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia are differences in how the brain processes information. They are not related to intelligence. Many highly intelligent people have significant learning disabilities that went undetected in school, leaving them with a history of underachievement, low confidence, and a persistent sense of not working as hard as they should. A formal assessment provides a clear picture of cognitive strengths and challenges, a diagnosis where applicable, and specific recommendations for school accommodations, workplace adjustments, and targeted support. If you are looking for a learning disability center in JLT, our therapist can provide practical recommendations and strategies tailored to the learner, helping improve confidence, academic performance and everyday functioning.
Recognition
What It Feels Like
Reading is slow, effortful, or inaccurate despite significant effort
Spelling, writing, or mathematics are disproportionately difficult
You or your child is bright but struggling academically in ways that do not make sense
A history of being told to ‘try harder’ when you were already trying your hardest
Difficulty with sequencing, organisation, or following multi-step instructions
Low confidence and a belief that you are not as capable as others
Our Approach
How We Help
Our educational psychologist conducts comprehensive psychoeducational assessments using internationally validated tools (WISC-V, WIAT-3, KTEA-3) to identify the specific nature and profile of learning difficulties. Following the assessment a detailed report is generated that includes findings and suggestions for school, university, or workplace accommodations. For those seeking a learning disability center in Dubai, our assessment process provides a clearer understanding of cognitive and academic strengths, learning challenges and individual support needs.
Therapeutic Methods
Approaches We Use
Psychoeducational Assessment
Comprehensive cognitive and academic assessment to identify the specific profile of learning difficulties. It helps highlight both areas of challenge and individual learning strengths.
School Recommendations & Accommodation Letters
Detailed written recommendations for schools, universities or employers supporting access to appropriate accommodations and adjustments based on the learner’s individual needs.
Cognitive Strategy Training
Evidence-based strategies that work with the learner’s profile rather than against it. These strategies can support attention, memory, organisation, learning, and everyday academic functioning.
