Go Comprehensive : Consider having a pediatric clinical neuropsychologist 2do a comprehensive assessment of individual's a) current levels of functioning in realms of perception, problem solving, language, memory, etc; (b) behavioral, social-emotional functioning; & (c) academic skills. The assessment will help identify specific problems interfering w/learning & provide remedial strategies &/or problem work-arounds.
