What is Being Evaluated?
This is not a medical exam. This evaluation tries to uncover problems with language, behavior, attention, perception, handwriting, and memory as they interfere with your child’s achievement in school. Once problem areas are identified, solutions are given to help mediate them both at home and at school. If results of any of the tests suggest a medical problem, the child is referred to a pediatrician. I expect the whole family to work together to support each other in achieving improved educational performance for their child and overall family happiness and harmony.
