Builds foundational cognitive and academic skills
Develops a comprehensive profile of strengths and challenges
Creates targeted plans to improve weaknesses while harnessing strengths
Practitioners trained in human development, neuropsychology, and learning science

Difficulty with organization or remembering assignments
