DOES YOUR CHILD NEED TESTING?
Many parents ask this exact question on a daily basis. Often they are referred by a school administrator or teacher to have their child tested for ADHD or a suspected learning disability. However, they have not been told detail regarding the kind of testing that is necessary and by whom. Consequently, it is often a confusing and frustrating process that leads to a delay in the student not receiving necessary accommodations and interventions. Dr. Stein provides parents with a free phone consultation to answer their questions and to clarify the various options that are available. You can call 818-789-5035 or email mark@steinpsych.com for more info. You may also visit www.steinpsych.com
