Some children
experience difficulties
with attention, learning or social
interaction that results in academic performance lower
than their potential. Diagnosing these
differences, and implementing
appropriate strategies and accommodations is
essential for success.
A gifted child may show advanced intellectual ability and
creativity, but be
out-of-step with their peers in some areas of development. Gifted
children have needs beyond what regular school classroom programs offer, and benefit
from special accommodations and learning opportunities to reach their full potential.
Parent
coaching can help parents understand their children's developmental needs, and enhance
their
toolbox of parenting skills. Children
of divorce face unique
challenges and mediation
of a parenting plan or co-parenting
skills training
can help children thrive and not just survive..
Our services to support children and adolescents
include:
-
psychological and educational assessment to
diagnose strengths and limitations; establish eligibility for
special school services, accommodations, or programs (e.g., IB,
gifted); and identify specific strategies that will help a child
in school and at home
-
educational workshops and consultation to
teachers and parents
-
parent coaching (e.g., tools, strategies,
education, counseling) to support parents of children who have
unique needs or are experiencing challenges (e.g., divorce,
behavior problems)
