How do I know if my child needs a psychoeducational assessment?
You may have concerns that your child is struggling in school or doesn’t seem to be living up to his or her potential. Or you may have noticed that your child has a much harder time completing certain types of academic work than other children his or her age. Your child may be developing behavioral problems at school or refusing to go to school. Any of these could be symptoms of a Learning Disability. If you suspect your child has a Learning disability, it is important to talk with school personnel about your concerns. You can request, in writing, that the school evaluate your child for a possible learning disability.
