Who We Can See

It seems that many children have difficulties at school and home, often hindering them from doing as well as they could. Some children have a formal diagnosis made by a paediatrician, health or educational professional. Other children may not have a formal diagnosis but parents or teachers may still be concerned.

Children who have difficulty with:

Classroom/education skills
Fine Motor Skills
Gross Motor Skills
Handwriting
Low Self Esteem
Self Care
Sensory Integration
Visual Perception

Children With Diagnosis:

Asperger`s Syndrome
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism (ASD)
Dyspraxia
Clumsy Child Syndrome
Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD)
Developmental Delay
Learning Disabilities

Children with health difficulties:

Orthopaedic Issues
Neurological Conditions
Rehabilitation (e.g. recovering from surgery, accidents..)
Children with health issues struggling in school

The CTT is experienced and very skilled in assessing these conditions, and will offer treatment/advice as appropriate.

It is not uncommon for several diagnoses to share similar difficulties, such as handwriting, self care and reading issues. For example, a child with a diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome may share some characteristics of a child who has Developmental Co-ordination Disorder, highlighting problems such as handwriting, self care or sensory immaturity.

Some children have quite significant health issues to overcome, and may need extra support in school. At times, schools may benefit from direct contact and advice from a health professional, in order to optimise the child’s success within the class. There are many health conditions which can effect a child, such as hemiplegia, cerebral palsy, various syndromes, recovering from surgery, cardiac and orthopaedic conditions.
