Brain Research



Topics: 

Assessing Behavior and Cognition in Children… What is the purpose of a formal assessment of my child? What is involved in a cognitive assessment? What factors may influence my child’s performance?

Brain-Behavior Relationships… How might my child’s behavior relate to her/his brain? What behaviors in my child might be explained by her/his stage of brain development?

Learning Styles and Learning Disabilities… What do we know about the different ways children learn? How can I facilitate my child’s learning? How do I know if my child has a learning disability? What does the presence of a learning disability mean for my child’s future?

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)… What are the signs and symptoms of ADHD? How do the symptoms of ADHD differ from typical childhood behaviors? How will ADHD affect my child’s school performance?

Advocating for your Child… How do I obtain the extra help for my child that I think he/she needs? What are my rights?
