Everyone learns differently. For some people, learning is a real struggle. At Red Ladder Optimized Learning, we identify what's causing learning problems, and help kids, teens, and adults toward more success in school and in life.

Red Ladder Optimized Learning is a private practice psychology centre based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, providing professional, comprehensive, and accessible evaluation and treatment services.

Many circumstances can reduce a person's ability to learn. Red Ladder Optimized Learning approaches problems affecting learning by first working to find out how a person learns—his or her learning style—and identifying specific areas of strength and difficulty. We identify and diagnose learning disorders such as ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), Language-Based learning problems including Dyslexia, behaviour problems, as well as emotional and stress-related difficulties which may be affecting learning and life. We also identify and address problems associated with giftedness.

Evaluation, feedback, and reporting is a process of collecting and integrating information from many sources about a client. We work to understand the specifics of the current problem—when it began, how it developed, and how it affects a client’s life and his or her family. Later, we provide useful findings to clients, their families, or both, and help with strategies for intervention. Where appropriate, we prepare a practical, comprehensive, understandable written report of our findings, with diagnosis and recommendations for optimizing a client's learning.

Depending upon the nature of the problem affecting a person and their family, there are different interventions worth consideration. Group Treatment, individual counseling or coaching, psychotherapy, family therapy, or parent training may be helpful. Where appropriate, we can consult with schools, workplaces, or government bodies about a client’s needs, and we may also suggest referrals to other professionals, including medical doctors, occupational therapists, reading clinicians, speech and language clinicians, audiologists, optometrists, and tutors.

Red Ladder Optimized Learning is committed to providing Continuing Community and Professional Education about learning. We work to increase public understanding about psychology (Psychology FAQ) and allied health professions, as well as about the similarities and differences between Private and Public services.
