Information is power. It is very important that parents have information about their child’s strengths and weaknesses so that decisions can be based on objective data more than just what seems to cause the most stress. Total Learning Centers believes that accurate relevant data offers the strongest foundation on which to build the best curriculum for students.
Our testing includes more than just intelligence testing and testing in reading, writing, and math areas because the newest research is clear- it takes more to be successful in school and in life than just these alone. Important? Yes. Sufficient? No. The student who studies and “gets it” at home then forgets for the test the next day, or finds that homework takes much longer than their friends, the child who requires extra explaining and help during homework, will need more than just help to improve reading for example. These children may have underlying weaknesses in memory, attention, organizing, processing, or processing speed.
Many are finding these Executive Functioning areas are even more critical than mastering the basics of reading, writing, spelling and math. The fact is, they are ALL needed. Total Learning Centers evaluates all these areas even during our FREE life time update testing. Look for this information about your child (memory, attention, etc.) any place you have your child tested, even if not at Total Learning Centers.
