Educational Psychology Assessments - taking bookings now
Hi all,
I am an Educational Psychologist who specialises in cognitive and achievement assessments for children (can also do assessments for attentional difficulties if concerned). I am able to diagnose learning difficulties in reading, writing and maths. If you have noticed your child isn’t progressing as well as they should be academically or their teacher has mentioned they are struggling to understand some concepts it might be wise to look into it further. I offer assessment, a 20-25 page comprehensive report about the way your child thinks and learns best and recommendations moving forward for home and school and a 1 hour follow up meeting to discuss the results.
These reports are hugely beneficial in understanding the way your child learns and thinks and notifies us re: learning difficulties. I am an ex primary school teacher of 8 years, so can phrase the school recommendations in “teacher language” also.
Please either private message me or visit www.edpsych.co.nz... for further info. I am now taking bookings for 2024 :)
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
