When a child is experiencing learning
difficulties our first move is to do
comprehensive psychological testing which
measures the child’s information processing
and checks to see if there are coexisting
learning disabilities with attention deficit
disorders or emotional disorders. Even if a
child has already had a learning disorder
identified, we want to make certain that
nothing has been missed or misidentifies so
that we can provide the most targeted and individualized care possible to your child. Once the comprehensive psychological testing has been completed, we then use that information to inform what we need to treat as well as nutritional supports for learning so we can effectively support your child.
