POOR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

Is your child refusing to attend or resisting going to school?

Are you concerned about frequent behavior problems and worsening grades?

Do you feel that the school has not been addressing your concerns and making accommodations?

Your child’s school experience has a major impact on his/her self esteem and direction in life!  Undiagnosed learning disabilities, poor social skills, bullying, and difficulties with attention and organizational skills, are the primary contributers to school failure.

As a family therapist, I also know that family problems, such as conflict, divorce, addictions, and loss may also affect a child’s school performance.

In the 33 years I worked with the Pinellas County Schools, I helped identify learning and behavior problems, write 504 accommodation plans, and identify interventions for success.

If you are concerned about how your child is doing in school, please contact me to discuss posssible causes and interventions for improvement.
