pushing struggling kids along. You can have your child tested
now to determine why he or she struggles.
To help your child you need to identify what is causing
the struggle so that you know exactly where to target support.
Testing your child can identify your child’s underlying
problem so that you can start to help in a meaningful way.
Why let something hinder your child from reaching his or
her potential? School neuropsychological testing includes
tests of memory, speed, language processing, visual-spatial
processing, attention, executive functioning, flexible
thinking, reading, math, writing, self-esteem, and much
more. This approach identifies your child’s strengths and
weaknesses so we can target the right support.
I can help you know how to best help your child. In
addition, when school resumes you can share the results
report with the school so they can write up a 504 Plan or IEP.
These are the special plans that provide accommodations for
your child. This means the school can do things to help your
child so you have systems of support from multiple areas.
Give yourself some support and get answers that can
help you today. We are working by appointment. Call (561)
