Achievement testing assesses your child's performance in reading, writing, and math – this determines what he or she has already learned and knows. It measures the comprehension of acquired skills and content. Achievement testing can help determine your child's specific areas of academic strengths and weaknesses and it can be a valuable resource, across different types of schooling environments, by tracking your child's academic progress over the years.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children, adolescents, and adults. ADHD can make it difficult to focus, complete tasks, pay attention or stay organized. Some individuals with ADHD also find it difficult to inhibit impulses (such as blurting out or interrupting) or sit still. Such difficulties may lead to impairment in day to day functioning including academic performance, social relationships, or day to day tasks. Currently, there are three distinct types of ADHD: ADHD — Inattentive Type (formerly known as ADD) ADHD — Hyperactive / Impulsive Type ADHD — Combined Type

Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted testing combines both IQ and Achievement assessments to determine if your child is eligible for AIG services within his or her NC public school. If your child is identified as gifted, it's important to get him or her appropriate educational experiences at an early age. Gifted kids can quickly become bored with school if lessons are beneath their academic and intellectual levels. This can ironically lead to underachieving or behavioral challenges if their special needs aren't met.

Anxiety is a general term that describes a feeling of worry, concern, or uneasiness. Anxiety is a common emotion and often occurs in response to stress. In some cases, anxiety is helpful. It can help alert us to danger or prepare for an upcoming event. Usually anxiety is short-term and will fade over time, especially as the initial stressor goes away. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, chronic, or uncontrollable and affects quality of life, then an individual may be experiencing an anxiety disorder. While anxiety disorders are common in children, adolescents and adults, treatment can help individuals feel better and lead more healthy lives.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means that it impacts how a child develops. Autism begins in utero, although children with ASD might not be diagnosed until they are older, when signs of the disorder become more apparent. While there used to be three types of ASD to include Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), there is currently a single diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, with varying specifiers for level of impairment, and related intellectual or language deficits. Autism spectrum disorder is called a spectrum because individuals with Autism may have a wide range of symptoms, cognitive abilities, language skills and behaviors.
