TESTING AND EVALUATION

The office provides affordable evaluations to

determine a child's need for special

learning strategies -- either within the

traditional school setting or in

an alternative educational environment.

A child you know could be helped by special education if he or she...

Hello! --- Earth to Suzie! Over here!"
She's not stupid. She learns differently.
"Uh, the dog ate my homework!!"
"I know I got it here someplace!"

Is Disorganized?


Often says, "Why am I so stupid!"

Doesn't turn in Homework?


Doesn't pay attention?

  • Can't sit still?

  • Can't follow directions?

  • Doesn't complete written work?

  • Reverses letters, words, numbers?

  • Does messy writing or coloring?

  • Is significantly behind in the basic subjects?

  • Can't remember what was just said?

  • Has been diagnosed with a learning disability including Asperger's Syndrome?

Three purposes for our Testing services:


- For possible enrollment in our programs

- To aid parents with their

children's education progress

- To aid teachers with an

education plan

     Psycho-educational assessment may include: personal interviews, testing for intellectual functioning and academic achievement. We also screen for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, language impairment, Central Auditory Processing Disorder and other conditions for which referrals can be made.

Testing is available for elementary students from age 6. The waiting period for testing varies depending upon the number of applicants, their ages and current availability of openings.

     Prospective students for placement in one of our schools or learning centers  must be evaluated at the Catholic Guidance Center, by appointment.  Our evaluations are primarily performed by Janet Nemec, Ph.D.
