Why have a cognitive assessment?
find underlying reasons for learning difficulties
validate observations made by parents or teachers
identify reasons for avoidance strategies
choose more relevant and effective strategies for learning
help teachers implement more targeted approaches
give students and their parents a better understanding of their profile
enable students to be their own “best advocates”.
A personal report
Many families or individuals have an “epiphany” when they read their report. They understand why they had specific difficulties.
Cognitive training will reinforce these deficits, which will no longer represent an obstacle to learning, and reduce frustration.
