I have been discussing with parents how to make sure their children are getting their needs met at school. Many children have ADHD or an unidentified learning disability that is often undiscovered until fifth grade. Trouble concentrating, easily distracted, or overall having trouble follow the teacher for a prolonged period of time can be symptoms. Sometimes teachers referrals to school psychologists move at a snails pace–taking two, three or four years– while your child falls further behind his or her peers. A simple three hour evaluation for only a few hundred dollars is all it takes for an ADHD Assessment–often covered partially or fully by your insurance can pinpoint their academic problems early for early intervention! Dr. Velez specializes in these kinds of evaluations. If you suspect that your child might have ADHD, you should not hesitate to contact our offices. You can schedule an ADHD Evaluation online or call our offices.
