difficulties.
Leatia says: "As children let me into their world by talking - or in the case of
younger children, acting out their difficulties in the play therapy
- my interaction with them is always for the child to deal with his or her
difficulties, without any fear of upsetting a family member or friend.
Children live in the circumstances the adults around them create. My most important
task is to help my young clients find the best possible ways to live within their family
and school environment and to learn how best to interact with the wider world so they
can be well-prepared to stand on their own feet one day. I delight in helping children to
find learning difficulties, problematic relationships with siblings or other matters.
The child's individual needs guide me in selecting specific therapeutic techniques to
increase his/her overall level of coping, contentment and well-being. I explore the
child's experience of his/her parents, siblings and extended existence as it becomes
relevant in the therapy."

Psychometric Assessments for Children
Many children find it difficult to concentrate optimally, and may present with a variety of learning difficulties. Psycho-educational
assessments aid the decision making progress regarding school placement, as some children might need more specialised attention
within smaller classrooms. Individualised attention might prove to be beneficial, with various forms of therapy being incorporated.
Children are faced with diverse struggles, which might call for occupational, speech and language, as well as remedial therapy. The
assessment provides indicators as to the necessity of the aforementioned, and the parents and/or legal guardians are provided with
guidance in this regard. Succeeding the assessment, a thorough feedback session is conducted in order to aid the parents in their
understanding of their child’s level of functioning. A written report is optional, and is
provided for the parents’ perusal in their own time. This is considered to be beneficial, as the amount of information discussed is more
often than not overwhelming. Recommendations are made regarding future actions and/or placements to better suit the child’s
individual needs.
The assessment battery includes an IQ assessment, as well as emotional measures. All aspects of functioning is taken into
consideration, which includes birth details, developmental concerns, diagnosis (if any), medication, family circumstances, scholastic
functioning, and therapy that the child has been attending (including occupational, speech and language, and play therapy). The aim
is to improve the child’s quality of life by taking all aspects into consideration, and liaising with significant role players.
