We must not only recognize these strategies as practical, but apply them widely in an effort to help kids achieve their potential. Taking a multidisciplinary and multi-perspective approach to interpreting and working with children has a far greater likelihood of achieving positive results. Toward that end, we've developed a range of evaluation and management tools appropriate for clinicians from various backgrounds as well as for teachers, parents, and kids themselves. We facilitate collaboration by providing a common language. We create ways to foster communication and meaningful alliances between physicians, psychologists, educators, language specialists, social workers and others concerned with optimizing kids' learning potential.
All kids deserve a hopeful vision of the future.
Pessimism is one of the worst complications of a disappointing school performance. Unfortunately, these prophecies can come true. Aggressive counteraction is warranted. We believe that parents, teachers, and clinicians must devote considerable time and effort to helping kids see the possibilities for themselves in the future. Optimism is central to our mission.
