Educational & Dyslexia Assessments for Children in Sydney
Educational & Dyslexia Assessment in Hills District and Sydney City
Professional Educational & Dyslexia Assessments to Help Children Thrive at School and Beyond.
If your child is struggling with reading, writing, or learning at school, it’s not about effort — it’s about understanding how they learn.
At Dolphin Tribe, we provide comprehensive educational and dyslexia assessments that reveal your child’s unique strengths and challenges, helping you and their teachers provide the right support.
Why an Assessment Matters
Every child learns differently.
Sometimes, bright and capable children face unexpected difficulties with reading, spelling, or memory. A professional assessment can uncover the reason — and open the door to the right support and strategies.
Our assessments can help if your child:
-
Struggles to keep up with reading or written work
-
Mixes up words, letters, or sounds
-
Avoids homework or becomes frustrated with learning
-
Has trouble remembering instructions or sequences
-
Has been described as bright but inconsistent in performance
Understanding is the first step toward progress.
