Learning Disabilities and ADHD

We excel at assessing children who may have Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or a Learning Disability. We use a comprehensive, collaborative approach to assessment that focuses on identifying your strengths, and offering research-based recommendations and finding realistic solutions for your child’s challenges.

An incredibly important part of a good ADHD or Learning Disability evaluation is ruling out other mental health issues or emotional conditions that can mimic the symptoms of ADHD or Learning Disabilities. We take accurate diagnosis very seriously, and are careful to provide a comprehensive assessment that looks at your child’s emotional functioning as well has his or her attention and learning abilities to make sure that we are making helpful recommendations and accurately identifying the “why” behind the problem behaviors.

Giftedness and “Twice Exceptional” Children

People who are highly intelligent are not immune to learning disabilities and ADHD. Often gifted students with learning disabilities or ADHD are missed because their high intelligence allows them to cope better in academics than many of their peers. People who are both highly intelligent and have a learning disability are often referred to as “twice exceptional.” If you feel you or your child may be in this category, call The Catalyst Center to learn how an assessment could help you learn more about your abilities and discover ways to reach your full potential.
