Identifying A Child’s Strengths and Weaknesses in School: Reaching Potential
Warning signs that your child has learning issues can be as obvious as the child sitting up late at night crying while trying to do homework, or as subtle as watching a “disorganized” child “not apply” himself. The child may seem “smart” but just not be achieving up to his or her potential. Seeming lazy, being disorganized, arguing about doing homework, receiving poor grades, and “not working hard enough” are also warning signs. These scenarios and more can be symptoms of learning issues.
Sadly, when the signs are more subtle, the problems often are not diagnosed until late high school, when failing college, or even worse, never. Knowing if your child has a learning “glitch”, and specifically what kind, can get her the much needed help appropriate to her problem, and can be life-changing. Even if a child is very good at many subjects in school, or seems “smart”, there can sometimes be small issues that can cause big problems when it comes to school and grades.
Dr. Wetherby, through a customized evaluation, can pinpoint strengths and weaknesses in your child. Functional recommendations will be made in a follow-up visit that will outline what your child will need for success.
