It is during this meeting when the family has a chance to express their specific concerns and we gain a better perspective of the child’s assessment needs. A plan of action is discussed and implemented.

Specific tests will be selected based on each student’s individual needs.

The comprehensive assessment will be personalized based on age, grade, and needs of the student (refer to our FAQ’s below, for a detailed outline of the educational assessment of academic achievement).
