Reasons for Testing

How do you know if an evaluation such as this might be helpful for your child?

Does your child . . .
• demonstrate academic performance that is up one day and down the next?
• have trouble mastering basic academic foundational skills, such as reading or writing?
• struggle to retain information just presented, such as spelling words or math facts?
• seem confused by letters and numbers?
• have trouble staying focused long enough to complete in-class assignments or homework?
• become very anxious about or refuse to go to school?
• have difficulty understanding directions given in class?
• need you to re-teach each day's lesson in order to complete homework?

These are just some of the many indicators that your child may be experiencing difficulties related to a learning difference.

A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation can help determine the nature and the extent of many learning- or socially-related difficulties your child may be experiencing. It can also guide and inform instructional and behavioral strategies used to ease the struggle that these differences may be causing, both at school and at home.
