You can tell early if there are possible problems

Nowadays scientists are looking for warning signs of learning difficulties in babies, for example, the Baby Lab, at Western Sydney University.​


There are warning signs you can detect before school starts.

​​

Some Departments of Education, eg South Australia, are making Pre-School available for all children.  Tasmania is trialling an early identification assessment. These should make it easier to identify who needs help earlier and reduce ongoing difficulties .
