All Kinds of Minds has spun-off two independent clinics, who work with school-aged children and adolescents (grades 1-12) who have the types of learning challenges experienced in general education classes. Together, we have helped thousands of families answer questions and provide strategies relating to students’ struggles in school.

• Why does my child have trouble maintaining focus or seem to get distracted easily?
• Why does my child have difficulty with planning work, catching mistakes, or inhibiting impulses?
• Why does my child struggle expressing himself/herself in writing?
• Why is reading comprehension problematic for my child?
• Why does my child seem disorganized or have difficulty managing time effectively?
• Why can’t my child write legibly and efficiently?
• Why does my child struggle with getting work completed?
• How can my child feel motivated and have more self-esteem about his/her homework?
• How can my child improve his/her understanding of math, remember math procedures, & recall math facts?

The neurodevelopmental assessments are designed for profiling neurodevelopmental strengths and weaknesses, and linking profiles to academic skills. The reports include a customized learning plan that contains specific ways that you can help your child address his or her learning difficulties.

At the same time, these services may not be suitable for everyone.

1. Children with significantly delayed cognitive functioning would benefit by specialized assessments related to their needs. Your pediatrician should be able to refer you to a developmental evaluation facility in your area.
2. These services do not address significant emotional or behavioral conditions. If this is your primary concern, contact a mental health professional.
3. These services do not provide IQ testing or standardized achievement testing. We do not use labels (e.g., “learning disabled”) in our reports or demystifications. Consequently, assessments are not designed to determine eligibility for special education services.

Because of the dynamic nature of the assessments and because no labels are used in the reports or demystifications, assessments are not designed to determine eligibility for special education services. We can advise you about specialized services but cannot mandate that a school use our report. Typically, parents share the learning plan with teachers, most of whom are receptive to specific recommendations.
