The psycho-educational evaluation will give families the tools and a "plan of action" to address successful learning. Parents can help your child in the following ways:

• Interact with your child openly and acknowledge learning differences
• Remind your child that he/she is intelligent but has a different way of learning
• Identify strengths and talents, and encourage your child to develop them
• Support your child's efforts to succeed
• Be available to help your child with homework or have a homework tutor/coach
• Be a role model by reading for pleasure
• Set realistic goals and expectations
• Work collaboratively with school staff
• Listen to your child when he/she wants to talk
• Appreciate your child for his/her uniqueness, special qualities, and contributions
