It is not uncommon for children to struggle with school. This could occur with one particular subject or school in general. There are many possible reasons for children to have trouble learning. In this episode, we discuss when parents need to be concerned about their children's academic progress, how to get the best evaluation for their child, different services that may be available to help, and common underlying disorders that may cause school struggles, such as learning disorders. Is repeating a grade a good idea? —we have that covered too.
