“Every encounter I’ve had with
Learning Links has been a positive one. Every time I’ve spoken to any of
the health professionals they’ve been wonderful, insightful and willing
to help.”
Parent of child attending Learning Links
Learning Links is a
charity working in partnership with families to help children from birth
to 18 who have difficulty learning.
Learning Links helps
children by offering a range of services including early childhood
intervention; an inclusive preschool for children with and without
special needs; comprehensive assessment and consultancy services; small
group educational services; occupational and speech therapy;
physiotherapy; family counselling; group programs and professional
development.
Our approach is
family-centred and we work in partnership with families to help them
achieve the dreams they have for their children.
One in every five
children has some sort of disability or learning difficulty.
For babies and
toddlers it may mean they can’t catch a ball as easily as other children,
see or hear as well, or perhaps find it hard to walk or crawl. 
Older children
struggling to learn at school are often overlooked. Many feel
frustrated and worthless because they find reading and writing so
difficult. Others just need help to catch up after a serious
illness such as cancer has left them behind their peers academically and
physically.
Without help,
children with learning problems will approach adolescence and adulthood
with diminished skills to equip them for employment and social
interaction. Research points to possible future drug and alcohol abuse,
unemployment, homelessness and suicide.
Learning Links gives
children the chance to be the best they can be.
