Little Giant Steps

A. No, this is not an in-depth evaluation. It is a quick way to check the current performance levels. For instance, if a child is nine and is processing as a five year-old this could affect the ability to follow directions, focus, stay on task and comprehend what is read and heard. Options for resolving this and other issues will be shared during our screening seminar. It’s up to you to take what you have learned and apply it. You will be introduced to several programs that could help you or your child.

A. The screenings are designed for adults, teens and children age 6+, who are gifted, typically developing or are experiencing learning uniqueness or challenges and those actually with labels such as ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia or Dysgraphia. So, can you bring in your three year-old for a screening? No! This is not for them! They must be at least six years of age.

While LGS provides help and hope for all learning issues including sensory challenges and syndromes or brain trauma, this particular screening service is not designed to address higher levels of involvement. With these situations, one is encouraged to consider a full evaluation which will address the specific needs of these difficulties and disabilities.

If working with a school, a school coordinator should be named to work with the neuro-educational screener in setting up a place and time. The coordinator will handle all parent/school communication [announcements, etc.]. LGS will supply the coordinator with scheduling tips and directions.As individuals are scheduled to be screened, an appointment time is given. (Screenings will be scheduled every 15-30 minutes as per designated screener’s instruction.) If the parent has not paid for the screening, the school coordinator will collect fees prior to the child being screened.If you desire to attend a screening event in your area or sponsor one, please contact the certified neuro-educational screener in your area for details. Please see the list below. Private screenings are also available at an additional cost.You must attend the seminar afterwards! Attending the seminar is part of every screening event and is mandatory for parents to attend no matter whether the screening is done through a school or a screening event in another location. The seminar explains the screened individual’s current developmental function. For those of you who are unfamiliar with neurodevelopment, you will receive an overview of how The Neurodevelopmental Approach works. Recommendations will be made to help maximize the individual’s life experiences and learning abilities through brain training. It is our goal to empower individuals to work through what appears to be limiting symptoms. When you know the cause of something, then you are in a position to do something about it. Because of the knowledge imparted, those who attend the seminar truly hold the keys to unlocking learning potential.
