Process
HELP utilizes the most advanced, accurate, and affordable computerized testing available. Just $98.00 includes a 2-hour test and 1-hour personal evaluation which provide an immediate, printed report for you to take with you.
This testing process, known as the Brain MAP (Multiple Abilities Profile), is a completely objective, computerized, scientifically standardized assessment (by age) of the 12 most critical processing areas of the brain. Stanley R. Riley, Ph.D., incorporating his 30 years of experience as a school psychologist, conducted the nationwide norm and standardization process.
A Special Note to Parents Parents, did your child's last report card contain comments such as: "not trying," "doesn't pay attention," "easily distracted," "not working up to potential," or "fails to turn in assignments" (sometimes even when completed)? Failure in schoolwork is a common symptom of deeper but correctable processing problems. Public schools have no accountability for success. Private schools are usually not equipped to deal with special education needs, and if you are home schooling you must show you are succeeding each regular testing period. Get to the root of the learning problem. You don't have to accept continued failure - you need to get HELP. As debilitating as these learning problems are, these are NOT DISABILITIES but rather inabilities that can be changed into ABILITIES. And upon conquering these academic and cognitive problems, you will increase confidence and self esteem, in addition to improving grades, making the whole educational experience less stressful for both the student and the parents.
Adults, It's Never Too Late!
Adults with learning difficulties know that without treatment these problems never go awaybut can only get worse. The same frustration that they experienced as children with schoolwork resurfaces for them as adults in the workplace, at home and in relationships. Problems with following directions and sequencing information can be even more debilitating for adults. But HELP is available for people of all ages.
