When a child is struggling in school, you need to find out why. If you are concerned about a child's learning, academic progress, social skills, or behavior, a comprehensive assessment is the first step to developing a plan to help.

If you are like most people, you have questions about tests. How do tests measure skills? What do the test scores mean? Are some tests better than others? What should I do to prepare for an assessment? What should a comprehensive assessment include?
