Booth Learning Development Centre offers comprehensive assessments and individualised programs for a wide range of learning and behavioural difficulties and performance enhancement, catering for children of all ages, adolescents and adults.

If you or your child has a difficulty with learning, you want to improve learning, focus or communication skills or feel that you are not performing to your potential in your schooling or work, we can help.

Our assessment and programs are a physiological approach to learning and behaviour difficulties. We look for and address the underlying causes which are often due to disruptions in the developmental stages of the first seven years of life.

These programs are a drug-free, non-invasive alternative for dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD, autism spectrum disorders, fine and gross motor problems, reading, maths and spelling difficulties and Auditory Processing disorders.

An individualised program to address learning and behavioural difficulties or performance enhancement can include:

  • iLs (Integrated Listening Systems) listening retraining and sensory integration
  • The Extra Lesson® movement, visual and speech program
  • Cognitive development activities
  • General health and well being discussion
