Unlocking Potential with Insightful Learning Disorder Assessments
If your child is struggling academically despite putting in effort, they may be facing a learning disorder that is affecting their ability to read, write, or do math. At Olague Psychological Services, we specialize in comprehensive learning disorder assessments that can provide the answers you need to better understand your child’s unique learning profile and unlock their full potential.
What Is a Learning Disorder?
Learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, are neurologically-based conditions that impact specific areas of learning. They are not related to intelligence or effort but can make it harder for individuals to process and retain information in certain subjects. Early identification and intervention can make a significant difference in academic success and self-esteem.
Our Learning Disorder Process
Our evaluations are thorough and individualized to assess your child’s strengths and challenges. Our process includes:
- Comprehensive History: We start with a detailed review of your child’s developmental, academic, and medical history, as well as input from parents and teachers.
- Targeted Testing: Using evidence-based assessments, we evaluate areas like reading, writing, math, and cognitive processing. Our tests are designed to pinpoint specific learning difficulties and patterns of strengths.
- Detailed Report & Recommendations: You will receive a comprehensive report that includes a diagnosis (if applicable), detailed findings, and customized recommendations for educational strategies, accommodations, and interventions.
Signs of a Learning Disorder
Children with learning disorders may show signs like:
- Difficulty with reading, spelling, or understanding written words
- Problems writing clearly or organizing thoughts on paper
- Trouble with basic math skills or understanding mathematical concepts
- Inconsistent academic performance, despite putting in effort
- Avoidance of schoolwork or feelings of frustration related to academics
If your child shows any of these signs, a learning disorder assessment can provide valuable insights into their academic challenges.
