My child is struggling at school. Where do we start?

You do not need the right label first

Start with what you are seeing

Many families know that something is not working before they know which professional term applies.

• Reading or spelling progress is unexpectedly slow.
• Homework becomes overwhelming despite apparent understanding.
• The learner forgets steps or needs repeated reminders.
• Work takes far longer than expected.
• Attention and organisation vary sharply by task or setting.
• School and home see different patterns.
• Results do not seem to reflect underlying ability.
