School Shouldn't Be Traumatic

Is your child . . .

Showing signs of not being ready for reading during the pre-school and kindergarten years?
Struggling with learning to read or write, or with mastery of basic arithmetic concepts?
Barely passing or even failing academic subject areas despite his best efforts?
Struggling with appropriate school behavior, or having trouble paying attention?
Having trouble getting organized, completing work, and preparing for tests?

No matter whether your child is in pre-school or entering college, the time for action is now. These challenges can be overcome with the right diagnosis and treatment approach; few disappear magically without intervention.

PSI Can Find Neuropsychological Disorders that Prevent Educational Success

Most educational resource services do not concern themselves with the functional impairments or weaknesses getting in the way of reading or writing skills. PSI is a comprehensive psychological services group that provides neuropsychological and brain functional evaluations to help identify possible functional weaknesses which may affect learning performance.

Once the problems are identified, these functional weaknesses can be remedied through our in-house and affiliate therapy services. We then use our educational consultants to help each student "catch up" without further delays.

Our Services Can Help Your Child Do Better in School

PSI provides tutoring and instructional assistance, including helping the student develop learning organizational skills and studying skills using state-of-the-art techniques. We can conduct an Individual Educational Plan review with your school system. We offer on-line e-mail assistance, information for using web based tools and services, and are available for direct instruction within 15 minutes of your home.
