Academic Problems
& School Placement
Sometimes academic problems are present but are not
being caused by a learning disability or ADHD. Difficulties in
academic performance can be caused by a range of other factors including:
Ø
Memory problems
Ø
Motivation
Ø
Poor study skills
Ø
Social difficulties
Ø
Poor emotional functioning
Ø
Low self-esteem
Testing can both uncover the area of weakness that is
inhibiting the individual from succeeding and also highlight the areas of
strength. Every individual needs an area in which to shine,
particularly those with difficulties in school. Artistic abilities,
mechanical skills, social talents, and athletic strengths should be
discovered and reinforced. Testing will provide a snapshot of one’s
unique abilities and intelligences to make sure that self-esteem,
motivation, and ambition are not thwarted because of the over-emphasis in
school on academic performance. Finding the “gift within” each
individual is essential for confidence and success, both in school and
career endeavors.
School Placement
Navigating through the complex maze of academic
choices from elementary school to college can be confusing and
intimidating for any parent. We can provide assistance and guidance
through this process and help find the program that fits best. We
have an understanding of the various public and private schools, as well
as the charter and magnate programs, within the community. For
further questions please contact our Center.
