Heading back to school can be exceptionally difficult for children who struggle with mental health or learning challenges. The school environment demands abilities that summer activities just don’t: getting organized; staying on task; and adapting to a new, more structured daily schedule can contribute to nervousness.
Some kids will fall behind their peers despite tons of effort, and this can be very discouraging for them.
That’s where the Child Mind Institute can help. Our team at the Learning and Development Center provide a range of services, from evaluations and testing, personalized education plans, school placement consultation, and skills interventions and academic remediation. To learn more about our educational services for the upcoming academic year or to schedule an evaluation, please reach out to us today.
FOR CAREGIVERS
What is an Educational Therapist?
Education Therapists have a range of professional backgrounds, from special education to speech and language therapy to psychology. But they are all focused on the whole child—that is, the emotional as well as cognitive factors involved in successful learning.
FOR EDUCATORS
Quick Guide to Dyslexia
The most common learning disorder is called dyslexia. Dyslexia makes it hard to recognize and use the sounds in language. Kids might reverse letters, like reading pot as top. Or they might have trouble sounding out new words and recognizing ones they know. Do you know the symptoms?
FOR CLINICIANS
What is Assistive Technology?
Assistive technology, or AT, is anything de-signed to help a person with disabilities do tasks that are hard for them. In school, AT can help kids who have trouble with reading, writ-ing or speaking to express themselves and keep up with other students.
