Educational Disclaimer
The book and this website are educational resources designed to support observation, understanding and everyday classroom or home strategies. They are not a diagnostic, medical, psychological, therapeutic or educational-assessment service.
Last updated: July 2026
1. Educational purpose only
All content produced by Dr Esther Marloth — including A Complete Guide to Identify and Support Barriers to Learning, this website, talks, seminars, workshops and any videos or resources — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is intended to build understanding and to offer practical, low-cost support strategies for teachers, parents and professionals.
2. Not diagnosis, assessment or treatment
The material does not diagnose any condition and must not be used as a substitute for professional medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, occupational, speech-language or educational assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Signs and “possible causes” described in the book are for awareness and informed observation only — they are not diagnostic criteria.
3. Always consult a qualified professional
If a learner is struggling, or you have any concern about a child’s development, health, learning or wellbeing, please consult a suitably qualified professional — for example a doctor, psychologist, occupational or speech-language therapist, or an educational specialist. Never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you have read here.
4. No professional relationship
Using the book, this website or any related resource does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, or teacher–pupil relationship between you and Dr Esther Marloth. No individual professional advice is given through this website.
5. Every learner is different
The strategies offered are general and will not suit every learner or every situation. Outcomes depend on the individual, the context and how support is applied. No specific result is promised or guaranteed, and you remain responsible for how you use the information.
6. Research and review
The book draws on eight years of research and was reviewed by specialists, organisations, experienced remedial teachers and parents. While care has been taken to keep it accurate and current, research evolves, and the content may not reflect the very latest developments in every field. It should be used as a starting point alongside professional judgement.
7. Third-party information
The site may reference or link to third-party organisations and resources for convenience. These are not under our control, and inclusion does not imply endorsement. We are not responsible for the accuracy or content of third-party material.
8. Urgent concerns
This website is not a crisis or emergency service. If a child is in danger or needs urgent help, contact your local emergency services or a qualified professional immediately.
