Welcome

We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of learning difficulties in school-age children.

Dyslexia (reading disability) and dyscalculia (arithmetic/math disability) are the most commonly found learning problems in low achieving students.

The vision we have at Dr. Winnifred Tang & Associates Learning Management is to bridge existing service gaps in our medical and educational system so that children affected by persistent low academic achievement can receive timely and appropriate intervention.

Parents

Parents with LD children who are struggling in school often do not know what to do. Do you see the family doctor or do you go see your child’s teacher? What about seeing both the family doctor and the teacher? Then what? Persistent low academic achievement can be symptomatic of underlying cognitive deficits that have a neuro-biological basis. Let us tell you more.

Educators

You have a student who is falling behind. You wish there is more you can do, but you are stretched to the maximum. The parents are eager to do whatever it takes to help the child, including paying for additional educational support not funded by the school. Let us tell you more.

Physicians

You have a school-age patient with persistent low academic achievement. It does not appear that the child has autism, ADHD, or mental retardation. You have checked both vision and hearing already; your conclusion is that the child is normal. The only problem is: despite the efforts, this child still finds learning difficult. As the family physician, what can you do? Let us point you to some resources available through HLWIKI Canada, a health wiki created by University of British Columbia librarian known for his use of social media in medicine.
