Learning disability

A learning disability means one part of learning is much harder for your child than the rest: reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia) or maths (dyscalculia).

It is not laziness, and your child is not slow. With the right help, children catch up and feel confident again.

Signs

Signs parents often notice

  • Poor handwriting
  • Reading and writing trouble
  • Problems with maths
  • Poor coordination
  • Hard to stay organised
  • Holds the pencil too tight or too loose
  • Mixes up letters like b and d
  • Tears or anger at homework time

Every child is different. Your child may show some of these and not others. Only an assessment can tell.

How therapy helps

What you work on together

Goals are set with you after the first assessment. These are the ones families often choose.

  1. Better pencil grip and handwriting

    Hand-strength games and writing practice, so writing gets neater and less tiring.

  2. Reading, writing and maths

    Remedial education breaks each skill into small steps your child can manage.

  3. Staying organised

    Simple routines for the school bag, homework and time.

  4. Focus in class

    Movement breaks and Brain Gym exercises help your child settle and pay attention.

  5. Confidence

    Small wins, noticed and praised, so your child stops feeling "bad at school".

Questions

Parents often ask

Is my child just lazy?

Usually not. Many children who seem lazy are working very hard at something their brain finds difficult. An assessment shows what is really going on.

Should we bring school work?

Yes. Please bring notebooks, school reports and any earlier assessments. They help Dr. Bhamini see where your child is struggling.

Do we need a diagnosis first?

No. If you're worried, book an assessment and ask. Many families are also sent by their paediatrician or school.

What does it cost?

The first visit (assessment) is ₹1,200. Follow-up sessions are ₹1,000 each.

Worried about your child?

Send a WhatsApp message. Dr. Bhamini will tell you honestly what she sees, and how therapy can help.
