Family Psychology Associates - Learning Disabilities Evaluations

To understand learning disabilities, one must first understand different forms of learning. Some people prefer to learn visually, while others learn best through listening. Some people learn sequentially, while others learn simultaneously. According to the book Multiple Intelligences written by Dr. Howard Gardner, there are seven forms of intelligence: Verbal/Linguistic, Visual/Spatial, Logical/Mathematical, Body/Kinesthetic, Musical/Rhythmic, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal.

Our state of the art psychoeducational evaluations are customized for each student. We select from an array of tests that measure each of the following types of information processing: auditory processing, visual processing, kinesthetic processing, motor speed, visual-motor functioning, memory, attention, impulse control and executive functions. Information processing weaknesses can also affect emotional stability and interpersonal skills. All of the information is factor analyzed and a comprehensive report is prepared that can help determine eligibility for special education services. Our evaluations are accepted by local school systems, universities and the College Board for eligibility for accommodations on standardized testing.
