The journey to literacy begins long before a child opens their first book. As qualified specialists supporting children with diverse learning needs, we understand that speech and language development form the critical foundation upon which reading and writing skills are built. Research consistently demonstrates that up to 80% of children with language disorders demonstrate reading difficulties, and children with unresolved speech sound disorders by age 5-6 are more likely to struggle with phonological awareness and early reading. When children receive targeted support that addresses underlying speech and language foundations alongside literacy skills, they're much more likely to develop into confident, successful readers and writers.

The New Zealand education landscape is evolving, with significant changes to mathematics education in 2025. The refreshed Mathematics and Statistics curriculum represents a substantial shift in how mathematics is taught in primary schools. For students with diagnosed learning needs, these curriculum changes present both opportunities and challenges. As qualified specialists with extensive experience in supporting diverse learning requirements, we are uniquely positioned to help your child navigate these changes through diagnostic assessment, targeted intervention, and evidence-based techniques.

Every learner is unique, and this is particularly true for students with diagnosed learning needs. As qualified specialists with extensive experience in this field, we understand that effective support requires both expertise and a deeply individualised approach. Generic solutions often fall short - that's why we're committed to evidence-based, personalised interventions that celebrate neurodiversity and empower learners to thrive.
