The Considerations

When there are signs of:

• Concerns about dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences

• Persistent difficulties with reading, writing, or math

• Challenges sustaining attention or staying organized

• Difficulty completing schoolwork despite strong effort

• Academic performance that does not match ability

• Increased frustration or anxiety

• Decreased self-esteem related to school

• Difficulty keeping up with classroom demands

• Evaluations may also be helpful when students are transitioning to more demanding academic environments, such as middle school, high school, or college.

Seeking an evaluation does not mean something is “wrong.” Rather, it is a way to better understand a student’s learning needs so that appropriate supports can be put in place.

Understanding today can support success tomorrow.
