When a child struggles to live up to his or her potential in school, parents, educators, and children themselves often want to get at the root of the matter. While a child may look "lazy" or "misbehaving" on the surface, his or her reluctance to do work or to engage with school may be the result of a deeper learning/attention disability or a related psychological issue that could be interfering with the child's ability to learn.
An assessment may be initiated due to school and/or parental concerns about a child’s cognitive functioning, learning, attention, and/or behavior at school.
