When is a psychological evaluation needed? Psychological, psychoeducational and neuropsychological testing is useful when children have difficulties learning or when they struggle with behavioral, emotional or social issues. |
|
What questions can be answered by a psychological evaluation? Does the student have significant cognitive deficits? Are there memory or thought process impairments? How much have they actually achieved academically? Are they capable of doing better? |
|
Does your child have a learning or emotional disability? What areas are impaired, and how should we teach the child? Why is your child's behavior so unmanageable? Is there an underlying psychiatric condition causing the behavior? What can be done about it? |

How can a special education advocate help? Our knowledgeable advocates provide much needed support and guidance for parents who are unsure about, or unhappy with their child's educational program. The special education system in Massachusetts is complex, often leaving parents feeling overwhelmed. Our advocates can help you regain control of your child's education. PTC advocates are trained in special education law, strategic case analysis, and the delivery of persuasive arguments on behalf of children with special needs. |
|
What questions can advocates answer? Are your child's unique needs fully understood from both a clinical and educational perspective? Is your school doing all it should to meet those needs? What legal rights do you and your child have? How do you exercise those rights: What must you do to make sure your child receives all the educational support to which they are entitled? |
