Region 15 Parents of 504/IEP Plan Students, is hosting Dr. Richard Grayson of Starting Point for Your Child Pediatric Neuropsychological Services in Southbury, CT. Join other Region 15 parents to discuss how neuropsychologists help discover children's strengths and can make recommendations that may help individual children, especially in the school setting. The meeting will be on January 15, 2015 at 7 PM at 17 Gettysburg Rd., Southbury, CT, in the Traditions community. Registration is not required, but would be appreciated. For questions, information, and to register, please contact Kim McNeill at 203-405-2239 or email kimberly_anne_mcneill@yahoo.com.
A child's test results can unlock insight into a child's mind that parents normally would not have, but only if parents know what the test results mean. During the meeting Dr. Grayson will help parents understand psychological testing: the purpose, the tests, their administration, their interpretation, what they might mean for a child, and other discussion points parents ask about. Test results, when understood properly, may be a parent's key to the way their child's brain works.
A neuropsychological evaluation, administered by specialists like Dr. Grayson, is often an important step in understanding a child's educational and learning profile and is usually one of the first ways children who are struggling in school may discover their specific needs.
