Diagnosing academic problems involves a comprehensive assessment that includes:
- Developmental History: Reviewing the child's developmental milestones and any significant events that might have affected their learning. - Medical Evaluation: Identifying any underlying medical conditions that could contribute to academic difficulties, such as hearing loss or vision problems. - Psychological Assessment: Conducting tests to evaluate cognitive abilities, learning styles, and emotional health. - Educational Testing: Assessing academic skills through standardized tests to pinpoint specific areas of difficulty.
