Parents typically seek evaluations when their child has difficulty acquiring and applying educational content in a manner that is consistent with that of the typical child in their age range. There may be many reasons for a child to exhibit learning problems, such as deficits in cognitive and adaptive functioning, the presence of a specific learning disability, and/or problems with emotional and behavioral regulation. Psychologists can conduct evaluations to determine the specific reasons for the learning difficulties and assist in developing appropriate plans of action to address the academic struggles.
