Centre For Early Intervention
Welcome to
Where we ensure your child gets the individualized support they need.
Helping children find their way into learning — in a way that feels natural, steady, and truly their own.
At Squarepegs, we work with children who don’t always respond to conventional methods. Children who are capable, curious, and trying — but need to be understood differently before things begin to fall into place.
We take the time to look closely. To understand how a child learns. To build from there — gently, intentionally, and without unnecessary pressure.
Because when learning begins to make sense, everything starts to shift.
At Squarepegs, our work is not built around a fixed program.
It is built around the child.
We begin by understanding how the child is currently learning — what feels effortful, what comes naturally, and where things begin to break down.
From there, we design support that is structured, thoughtful, and responsive.
Some children need to rebuild core skills.
Some need support with attention, regulation, or staying with a task.
Some need time, space, and the right kind of input to reconnect with learning altogether.
Along the way, we guide parents in simple and practical ways, so that what happens within sessions does not stay limited to sessions.
And for teachers and therapists, we create spaces to learn, question, and refine — grounded in real work with real children.
At Squarepegs, we do not separate learning from the child.
How a child feels, processes, attends, and engages — all of it matters.
So when something is not working, we do not move faster.
We look more closely.
We ask what might be missing, what may have been rushed, or what needs to be approached differently.
Because learning is not just about being taught.
It is about being ready, being able, and being in a state where learning can actually happen.
Our work is to support that readiness.
To build the skills that allow learning to settle and stay.
To reduce the strain that comes from constant correction or pressure.
To create experiences where the child begins to feel capable again.
And from there, progress becomes more natural.
More steady.
And far more meaningful.
Not all learning struggles look the same.
And not all of them need to be “fixed.”
Sometimes, a child is still building the foundations they need.
Sometimes, they have been rushed through something they were not ready for.
Sometimes, they have simply never been taught in a way that works for them.
At Squarepegs, we work with children across a wide range of learning and developmental needs — from early learners who need stronger beginnings, to neurodivergent children who require a more thoughtful and responsive way of being taught.
We also work closely with the adults around them.
With parents who are trying to make sense of what they are seeing.
With teachers and therapists who want to deepen their understanding and refine the way they support children.
The intention is not just to support the child in the moment, but to build a clearer, more grounded understanding of what the child truly needs in order to move forward.
Who are we?
SquarePegs is a learning space dedicated to unlocking the potential of every child. We are a specialised learning centre that embraces the uniqueness of children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. Our mission is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can thrive academically and personally. With a team of experienced educators, therapists, and a deep commitment to tailored, evidence-based strategies, we empower each child to discover their strengths, build their confidence, and excel in their learning journey. At Squarepegs, we believe that every child has the capacity to learn and succeed on their terms, and we are here to make that a reality.
How We Work
At Squarepegs, we don’t follow one fixed method.
Over the years, our work has been shaped by multiple approaches — each offering something valuable. What we do in sessions is a thoughtful integration of these, based on what the child needs in that moment.
The Types of Learning Disabilities We Work With
We help children with a variety of learning and cognitive difficulties.
But it is also equally important that parents know about the type of difficulty their child has and understand how it is affecting the child, to support them accordingly outside of therapy.
DYSLEXIA
Dyslexia is a common learning disability that affects the way individuals read, write, and spell. While it's not related to intelligence, dyslexia can present challenges in academic and everyday life.
It's a neurological condition that primarily affects the processing of language-related information.
DYSGRAPHIA
A neurological condition that affects ones ability to properly write down what they see, hear or think like taking notes or reproducing what they already know on tests or even copying from the board.
It's a common disorder seen in children and can continue into adulthood while presenting with many different symptoms at different ages.
DYSCALCULIA
While not as well known or understood as Dyslexia, it affects ones ability in processing numbers and math at many levels.
Both children and adults affected by it often struggle with key concepts like bigger vs. smaller. And they can have a hard time doing basic math problems and more abstract math.
Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
It's a persistent condition that's characterized by attention difficulties, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. This chronic condition that typically emerges in childhood and may endure into adulthood and can impact self-esteem, strain relationships, and create challenges at school or in the workplace if not addressed.
Sensory Processing
Difficulties
While seen more commonly in children already affected by ADHD, Autism or fragile X syndrome, it is quite common for even normal children to suffer from it. SPD influences how the brain interprets sensory information and can impact all senses or just one, often leading to heightened sensitivity to stimuli that others may not experience.
Executive Functioning
Difficulties
Executive dysfunction is a behavioral symptom that disrupts a person's ability to manage their own thoughts, emotions and actions. Often lacking the ability to handle frustration, start and finish tasks, recall and follow multi-step directions, stay on track, self monitor, balance tasks (like sports and academic demands) and more.
Processing Speed
Challenges
Processing speed can be defined as the time required / taken to perform an intellectual task or the amount of work that can be completed within a certain period of time. Even Gifted students with processing speed problems are “missed,” misdiagnosed, or mis-taught leading them to become discouraged, depressed, undereducated, underemployed, or worse.
Every child has their unique strengths and it is the responsibility of us adults to identify them and help them navigate their childhood while nurturing their talents. This applies even more so for children with learning difficulties. While they struggle to keep up in some areas in comparison to regular children, that does not mean they are in anyway dumb or stupid. In fact, studies show that these children tend to have a much higher IQ than normal children. But, the way they see and perceive things around them is slightly different.
This is where "Educational Therapy" can help identify their strengths and create customized ways to help these children study and learn things in a way that's ideal for them, where traditional and conventional ways of education taught at schools fail to achieve.
Educational Therapy
(Ages 6 & Above)
Our "Early Intervention Program" illuminates the way for parents who wish to support the early years of their child's growth affected by learning difficulties.
Statistics worldwide show that around 10% of the world's population suffer from Dyslexia while at least 1 in every 10 children under the age of 18 have one or more learning difficulty. Recognizing and addressing these challenges in the tender formative years of early childhood makes all the difference in helping them manage and circumvent their learning difficulties as it's a lifeline to untapped potential.
Through our unique and individualized approach, we are able to help children with such difficulties navigate around them in their early years which builds the foundation for their success in the years to come.
