 As parents, we sometimes have questions that cannot be answered by looking at a report card or reviewing state standardized test scores.
Some very common questions that parents have are…
Now there is a way to answer these types of questions. A Cognitive Analysis is an in-depth study of how a child thinks, learns, and communicates, and how those factors impact academic success. This is a valuable tool for any parent who wants to know and understand their child better. Every child has their own unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. Their mind processes information differently than any other individual. In a society where the mass production model of education is still the norm, parents must look for tools to help them discover how their child thinks and learns, what makes their child unique, and how best to encourage strengths while bolstering weaknesses. Cognitive Analysis is the gold standard for doing just this! Your child will experience a calm, friendly, relaxed atmosphere over the course of two to three sessions with me. Students regularly find the process both challenging and enjoyable! Parents find the information gleaned enlightening and invaluable. An in-depth cognitive report is provided, including individualized recommendations and information on a child’s strengths and weaknesses. A Cognitive Analysis is one of many tools I use to help families find educational solutions for their children. You can have the answers you need before school starts back again. Contact me for more information today! Summer slots are still available for a Cognitive Analysis or Educational Therapy.

 To all the Daddies, up at night with the little one while Mama gets some sleep....
To all the Mamas, taking their kids to school, sports, classes, and therapies.... For every Mom and Dad helping their kid with a late homework project the night before it's due.... To all of the Parents, bravely navigating the special education system to be the best advocate they can for their child.... Don't forget that you know your child better than anyone else. Your goals and dreams for your child go beyond the classroom door and are stored deeply in your heart. You are the key to your child's success! YOU ARE A TRUE SUPER HERO! Thanks for what you do.  My passion... helping parents to understand how their child learns.
She sat across from me, like so many before her looking baffled and frustrated. She had just been given a report, diagnosing her son with a learning disability. "We paid all this money" she said, "but what does it mean?". I sat and talked through the report with her like I had done with so many parents before. Reports from Psycho-educational Evaluations, whether from a public school, or from a private practitioner are not known for their parent-friendliness. Historically, they have been difficult to decipher and a bit impersonal. Because of this,I continually became the interpreter, helping parents apply information gained from these intimidating documents. Finding myself in this role inspired me to become an Educational Diagnostician. As a diagnostician, I have made a commitment to write psycho educational reports that are both professional, understandable and applicable. Through my training I have discovered my passion for giving parents a clear picture of how their child learns! Then I spoke with another mother... "We would love to understand more about how she learns, but we really don't want her to be 'diagnosed'. We had a learning center do some testing, but it would be great to get a more comprehensive picture." At this moment, a thought struck me. "Why", I thought, "do we have to reserve valuable info on learning processes and abilities for kids that are considered 'diagnosable'. Don't we all have strengths and weaknesses? Don't we all benefit from greater knowledge of self? Wouldn't parents be more empowered with the knowledge of how their child learns and what their child knows, especially if the report is designed to answer their questions?" A cognitive analysis is the use of standardized measuring tools in an individualized, but comprehensive way to determine someone's cognitive and academic abilities in order to make individualized recommendations in regards to therapies, interventions, learning environments, and teaching methods. This tool can empower parents with the knowledge they need to greatly impact their child's educational experiences. It is now my most popular assessment service  Educational Therapists have applied their in-depth knowledge of the learning process for decades and have helped to change the lives and learning experience for countless children and students.
I am often asked who benefits from Educational Therapy? The answers are as unique as the students themselves. Commonly it is a student who… · is not being challenged by classroom work. · struggles with homework routines. · can’t seem to turn in assignments. · has lost confidence in their ability to learn. · has gaps in their abilities. · has a learning difficulty. · has trouble with math. · has challenges in reading. · needs to believe in themselves more. · needs to become an independent learner. If you are considering a tutor, summer school, or an academic camp for your child this summer, look instead at investing in sessions with an educational therapist with the background experience, education, and ability to impact your child’s classroom experience next year. Your child may go back to school next with a different outlook on school and will likely experience a new level of success! Don’t delay, I am currently booking June and August sessions, but my schedule is limited!  As parents, we sometimes have questions that cannot be answered by looking at a report card or reviewing state standardized test scores.
