Did you know 15 per cent of primary school children have some difficulties with learning? In this episode hosts Dr Lexi Frydenberg and Dr Anthea Rhodes chat through what a learning difficulty is, if learning difficulties affect speech and language, and how to work with your child’s school to support their learning. Our special guest is Associate Professor Jill Sewell, a paediatrician who coaches parents through what to look out for at a young age and the pathways available to them.
