When School Isn’t Giving You Answers… It’s Hard to Know How to Help Your Child

Not Sure Where to Start?

🧠 Neuropsychological Evaluations

Neuropsychological evaluations help when a child:

  • Struggles with reading, writing, math, or tests

  • Knows the material but can’t show what they know on paper

  • Takes much longer than expected to complete schoolwork

  • Becomes overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotional around academics

  • Has attention, organization, or focus difficulties

  • Is described as “distracted” or “not trying” despite strong effort

Parents receive:

  • Results explained in clear, parent-friendly language

  • Specific, practical recommendations for school and home so you’re not guessing what your child needs

  • IEP or 504 plan recommendations, when appropriate

  • "The school kept telling us everything looked fine, but as a parent, I knew my child was still struggling. This evaluation finally looked deeper than the basics. We now understand how our child learns and why school felt so hard."

  • "Teachers said our child was ‘doing okay,’ but we knew something wasn’t right. The evaluation confirmed our concerns and explained why our child was working so much harder than peers. We finally felt heard."

  • "After seeing a friend throw up, my son started to fear getting sick himself. He began avoiding the cafeteria, not wanting to go to school, and only eating certain foods. I didn't understand why he was so worried about getting sick. Dr. Duhning, not only helped me son, but educated me about emetophobia. I didn't even know this was a "thing."
