My child struggles in school.
Evaluation can help clarify learning, processing, attention, or emotional factors that may be affecting performance.
For Children and Teens
When school, attention, or learning questions need a clearer picture.
Child evaluation can help families understand a child's strengths, challenges, and support needs in language that is useful at home, in treatment, and at school.
Parent Questions
You may be wondering...
Families often reach out when a child's day-to-day struggles do not fit a simple explanation.
My child has difficulty paying attention.
Evaluation can help families understand focus, follow-through, emotional regulation, learning, sleep, and daily demands together.
My child may qualify for accommodations.
Recommendations can help families discuss 504 planning, IEP conversations, or school-facing supports when clinically appropriate.

How evaluation answers these questions
- Clarifies why school, homework, attention, or follow-through may feel harder than expected
- Identifies strengths as well as areas where support may help
- Considers parent input, school context, developmental history, and day-to-day functioning
What families receive
- Plain-language feedback about the child's pattern of strengths and needs
- A written report with recommendations when clinically appropriate
- Guidance for home planning, treatment conversations, and school-facing supports
