Operating in a world that fails the neurodivergent can be devastating. Learning and behavior issues worsen, self-esteem plummets and self-destruction sets in, creating problems in school or at work that start to affect every aspect of life.
Evaluate for learning disorders, intellectual giftedness or a neurocognitive disability. Identify the source of struggles with reading, writing, math or problems with retaining information.
Identify anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder or other overlapping behavior issues that affect self-esteem, friendships, mood or family life.
Determine the root of challenges with controlling behavior, handling frustration, focusing, memory, sitting still or paying attention in class, lectures or in meetings.
Identify gaps in conversational skills, reading social cues, recognizing other people’s feelings or difficulties with creative, imaginative thinking and playing with others. Determine the source of narrow or restricted interests, rigidity, inflexibility and repetitive behaviors.
