How do I know if my child needs help?

Speech/Articulation:

  • Does your child struggle to say his name or age correctly so that strangers can understand?
  • Do grandparents and family members struggle to understand what your child says?
  • Does your child seem reluctant to talk to strangers but chatters away at home?

Language:

  • Is your child having difficulty learning the alphabet and letter sounds?
  • Does your child struggle with recognizing words that rhyme?
  • Is your child struggling with following directions?
  • Does your child have trouble retelling an event or story?
  • Does your child use limited words?

Academics/Homeschooling:

  • Do you need to document your homeschooling in a legally responsible manner?
  • Is your child struggling with Reading - Understanding what was just read? Sounding out unfamiliar words? Learning sounds that go with letters? Learning sight words?
  • Is your child struggling with Math - Counting on from a given number? Adding or subtracting small or large numbers? Learning multiplication facts? Remembering steps for long division? Solving word problems?
  • Is your child struggling with Writing - Avoids writing? Writing a complete sentence? Using capitals & punctuation? Spelling words correctly? Making writing interesting?

Other areas of concern:

  • Do you just feel like something is "off" or "not quite right" with how your child is developing?
  • Can your child pay attention to things like video games and tv shows, but not finish picking up a few toys?
  • Does your child have difficulty with organization, remembering details or acting impulsively?
  • Does your child get overwhelmed or upset if routines are not followed or schedules change unexpectedly?
  • Are social interactions difficult for your child?
