Reading shouldn't be this hard. There's usually a reason — and it's fixable.
Slow reading, skipped words, re-reading the same line, dread at story time. These point to specific underlying skills. A assessment reveals which ones.

Trying harder hasn't worked — because effort was never the problem.
Why an assessment is the right first step
Reading depends on phonemic awareness, auditory processing, working memory and processing speed. Before another tutor or reading app, our cognitive assessment shows precisely why reading feels hard, so the right program targets the real gap.

Here's how it works...
Schedule a Cognitive Skills Assessment
The Cognitive Skills Assessment takes around 1 hour to complete. It is designed like a series of brain games to reduce stress on the student.

Consultation with the centre director
The centre director will explain the results of the assessment to you and will recommend the best way to proceed to help your child overcome their attention and focus struggles.
You will receive a detailed report of your child’s unique cognitive profile to take away.

See your child thrive with the right program
With improvements in attention, cognitive skills and IQ, your child will have the right tools to learn faster and easier. You can expect improvements in relationships and more cooperative behaviour in many aspects of their lives. Most importantly, these improvements will result in greater confidence and self-esteem.

"We don't drill more of what isn't working. ReadRx rebuilds the sound-processing and memory skills reading is built on."
Why parents choose us
Our experience with The brain and Learning Institute had been truly transformative. We're absolutely blown away with the progress. We have gone from reading simple books to tackling longer ones, with the range of 200-250 page. This journey has not only improved the reading skills, but have significantly boosted the self-confidence. It's been an incredible journey of growth, exceeding all our initial expectations and we are excited to see what we accomplish next.
Laila - mother of 9 year old with weak reading skills
This training really works! My son is improving in a very short time. I really wished I knew about this training 5 years ago. The team here are very professional and really know what everyone child or person needs. Every child is different so do the training, my son’s training is trailered to his needs, which I find this very interesting. Definitely I recommend this training and this center.
Nadia - mother of 8 year old
My daughter 15yrs and has struggled all her life academically & emotionally. Over the years we have tried so many ways to help her with her dyslexia but still she continued to fall behind at School. Since starting The Brain & Learning program she had her first positive report and grades are improving. She has so much more confidence and when she reads books she said they make more sense to her. I would like to thank the team for being so patient with her, and to Gemma for supporting me through this journey.

FAQ's
-
Is my child dyslexic? - We can't say that from a website, and we don't label children. What we can do is measure the specific skills behind reading — sound processing, memory, processing speed — and show you exactly where the difficulty comes from, whether or not a dyslexia label applies.
-
Do you diagnose dyslexia? No, we don't provide a clinical diagnosis. Our assessment gives a cognitive skills profile that reveals the root of the reading difficulty. If you need a formal diagnosis, we'll point you toward the right professional.
-
What is ReadRx? ReadRx is our one-on-one reading programme. Instead of drilling more reading practice, it rebuilds the underlying sound-processing and memory skills that reading depends on — so reading gets easier at the source.
-
How fast are gains? Every child is different, but many families see meaningful progress within the first 12 weeks, with clear gains in reading and confidence in as little as three months.
