Child Psychology

Our experts in the Child Psychology Unit at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital support children to overcome educational or behavioural struggles like low grades, difficulty in taking tests, dyslexia, or other learning difficulties. We also offer assistance to children who have Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) related problems, peer relationship problems, anxieties about school performance, stress, test anxiety or discipline problems.

A comprehensive evaluation can help identify specific patterns of strengths and weaknesses. Our assessments will help in diagnosing developmental, learning, or behavioural disabilities. We provide recommendations and intervention strategies along with determining appropriate accommodations and modifications in the school setting.
