Mind Matters at Southeast Psych
 

Does your child struggle with learning?  Is homework a nightly struggle?  Are writing or math assignments really hard to complete?  Motivation a problem?  Grades a concern?  Is school work just too much work?  Or maybe you need help finding the right school or program fit?
Mind Matters can help...

The focus of Mind Matters is learning.  We uncover what’s going on with a child’s learning and then use that deeper understanding to generate strategies that parents and teachers can use to support students.  We serve you by...

• describing your student, not just label him/her

• identifying learning strengths as well as weaknesses

• improving each child’s self-insight about learning

• explaining our findings so that they are understood by children, parents, and teachers

• collaborating with parents and schools to develop practical and effective strategies

Craig Pohlman, Ph.D., the Director of Mind Matters at Southeast Psych, has conducted or supervised thousands of learning assessments for students from across the country and around the world.  His latest book, How Can My Kid Succeed in School?, gives parents and teachers easy-to-follow steps for helping children and adolescents who are struggling in school.

Knowledge is power, and assessments from Mind Matters will give parents knowledge to advocate for their kids’ learning needs.  Students will come out of the process with an improved understanding of themselves as learners.  Parents, students, and teachers will all have a clearer roadmap for planning instruction and making decisions about strategies.

We customize assessments based on the parent’s questions and the child’s needs.  Services range from consultation to targeted assessment to comprehensive evaluation.  We assess neurodevelopmental areas such as attention, language, and memory, including how such areas affect a student’s academic skill development.  We serve children, adolescents, and young adults.
