Learning Matters

Academic assessment - an academic assessment provides detailed information about the unique way each student learns. Our experienced team of evaluators are experts in their fields and include clinical psychologists, speech and language pathologists, and reading diagnosticians. Our evaluators use nationally normed protocols that can identify a learning disability, add/adhd and anxiety. Even if a learning disability is not diagnosed, parents can learn their child's strengths and weaknesses which may be the cause of learning struggles in school. The diagnostic results of a psycho-educational and/or psycho-emotional assessment can be used for eligibility of accommodations through an iep or 504 plan in school.

School advocacy - acquiring academic accommodations and supports for a student in the school can be an overwhelming and intimidating process. Learning matters advocates help parents navigate the complex process and attend school meetings on behalf of the student. Involving an advocate allows the parent to emotionally support their child while the advocate helps attain services based on the law and what is in the best interest of the student. Advocacy is provided at no cost to families in need.
