When concerns arise early in the school year, “wait and see” does not always need to be the default. Looking closer, and sooner, is often the most supportive and effective path forward.

Kids who are struggling, bored, frustrated, or even doing “fine” can all benefit from IQ testing. Sometimes bright kids or good students struggle in ways that are easy to miss. A cognitive profile that is interpreted well can offer insights that are otherwise unattainable. Results from dyslexia, autism, and ADHD evaluations that do not include IQ testing are incomplete, often result in the wrong diagnosis, and too often lead families on a wild goose chase.
