Does your child struggle with reading, writing or language?
Every child deserves the chance to reach their potential. Pelican Learning offers affordable, research-based assessments and specialist support to help families in Warrnambool and across Australia understand their child's learning needs — and take confident next steps.
Does this sound familiar?
Children develop at different rates. But some signs can indicate a child is finding learning harder than expected — and that early support could make a real difference.
Avoids reading aloud or becomes upset when asked to read
Struggles to blend sounds or recognise common words
Mixes up letters or words that look or sound similar
Has limited vocabulary or frequently makes grammar errors
Finds it hard to follow multi-step instructions
Is bright and capable in some areas, but significantly behind in reading or writing
Has been told they're 'not trying hard enough' — but you know that's not the whole story
If any of these feel familiar, you're not alone — and there is clarity to be found.
How Pelican Learning can help
Whether you're just starting to have concerns, or you already know your child needs support, there's a service designed for where you are right now.
Language & Literacy Screener
Using the DYMOND™ and TILLS tools, a screener can identify with high probability whether a language or literacy disorder is present. Findings give schools enough detail to begin intervention planning immediately, and give families a clear basis for seeking specialist referral — without waiting months for a formal diagnosis.
Ages 5–18 · From $350 · In-person or online
Full Assessment
A comprehensive assessment using the DYMOND™ and TILLS tools — two of the most accurate assessments available. You'll receive a detailed written report and a personal debrief so you understand exactly what the results mean for your child.
Ages 5–18 · $750–$1,000 · In-person or online
Story Champs Intervention
Evidence-based language intervention for children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), using the Story Champs program to build vocabulary, narrative skills and language comprehension.
