Overview
The CARRD provides a full assessment that includes the assessment of reading skills and the assessment of attention (ADHD). Regardless of the reason for the referral, all individuals are assessed on reading and attention. We have found that some children whose parents or teachers believe that they have reading difficulties actually have attentional deficiencies and some individuals whose parents or teachers believe that they have attentional problems actually have reading difficulties. A full evaluation helps us to determine specific reason for the difficulty. The assessment program is available to individuals of any age.
There are also some cases in which the student is experiencing difficulty at school even though we find that he or she has good reading skills and subskills and does not have attentional difficulties. In these cases, we do further assessment to determine the nature of the student's difficulty at school. Examples of these types of issues include depression, anxiety, and other situational, psychological, or emotional causes.
The parents will recieve a copy of the evaluation so that they can make informed decisions regarding their child. If the parents desire, a copy can be sent to their child's school after a release waiver has been signed by the parent(s).
The CARRD offers tutoring services for those individuals who have been determined qualify for help with their reading. The CARRD also offers assessment to determine the appropriate dosage levels for children who are using medications to control their attentional difficulties.
For more information regarding the tutoring program, please see the After School & Summer Program.
