A learning disability is an information-processing difference that impacts a student's ability to acquire or effectively use a skill.   It is a persistent learning difficulty that can occur in reading, writing, and/or math.   Below are some common learning disabilities.

• Dyslexia impacts a student's ability to read words accurately and/or fluently, decode unfamiliar words, and spell.

• Dysgraphia impacts a student's ability to translate their thoughts into written form.  Areas impacted can include spelling, handwriting, and organization.

• Dyscalculia impacts a student's ability to learn, understand, and perform tasks related to numbers.  Students with dyscalculia often struggle with acquiring math facts and performing accurate calculations.

 

How a Psychoeducational Evaluation Can Help?​

A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation can identify areas of difference and rule out other factors that can impact learning.  Our evaluations look deeply at why academic areas are difficult for a student, while also identifying areas of strength.  This process allows us to identify the specific interventions and academic-related supports that will facilitate growth and better allow a student to demonstrate the full extent of their knowledge.
