“What’s wrong? Why is school so hard for her? Why is he so angry?”

These are common concerns for many parents of struggling students. It’s a terrible, helpless feeling to watch your child flounder in school, falling farther and farther behind. You watch as other kids succeed, while your child is held back from achieving their true potential.

Regular classroom teachers are stretched thin. Most are not able to spend a lot of extra time working one-on-one with a child who is struggling. If they do have time, they likely don’t have the proper training to solve the problem and get your child back on track. If they have not already, your child’s teacher, counselor or principal likely will suggest you investigate learning disability testing or learning difference schools. A true transdisciplinary approach is proven to be the most effective method of treating learning disabilities. At The Morris Center, clients can receive interdisciplinary treatment to address multiple concerns in a synergistic way. Our clinic offers intensive interdisciplinary therapy to clients through a team approach. Our experienced professionals, each an expert in their field, work with clients to address the root causes of learning disabilities and to maximize treatment gains.
