When a child or teen is struggling in school—whether due to attention difficulties, learning challenges, anxiety, or other neurodevelopmental concerns—parents often turn to neuropsychological evaluations to better understand their child’s strengths and areas of need. These assessments provide critical insight into cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning, offering tailored recommendations for school-based accommodations.
But what happens after the evaluation is complete? How do these findings translate into real, meaningful support in the classroom?
Light On Anxiety’s educational consulting services bridge the gap between understanding and action—helping parents ensure that the right accommodations and interventions are successfully implemented in their child’s school environment.
A neuropsychological evaluation is often the first step in identifying a child’s learning profile and what supports will help them succeed. The evaluation might uncover:
✅ A learning disability requiring specialized instruction
✅ Executive functioning deficits that make organization and task completion difficult
✅ ADHD symptoms that impact focus and impulse control
✅ Anxiety or emotional regulation challenges that affect classroom engagement
✅ Sensory processing differences that require specific modifications
Once these challenges are identified, schools may offer accommodations through a 504 Plan or an Individualized Education Program (IEP)—but navigating that process can range from straightforward to incredibly complex.
This is where Light On Anxiety’s school consulting services come in, ensuring that families don’t have to figure it all out alone.
From Evaluation to Advocacy: Light On Anxiety’s Support System
✅ Understanding the Results
After a neuropsychological evaluation, families are provided with a detailed report outlining their child’s cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning. But a report filled with clinical and educational jargon can feel overwhelming. Our team helps parents interpret the findings and determine the best path forward for securing school support.
✅ Guidance Through the Accommodation Process
While some schools readily implement accommodations, others require advocacy and persistence. Parents often find themselves in 504 Plan and IEP meetings, unsure of what to ask for or how to ensure their child’s needs are met. Our experts:
- Help parents prepare for meetings
- Clarify what accommodations are legally available
- Ensure that schools follow through on agreed-upon supports
✅ Collaboration with School Teams
Even when a plan is in place, implementation is key. Light On Anxiety assists by:
- Communicating directly with school teams to ensure recommendations are properly applied
- Coaching teachers and administrators on evidence-based accommodations
- Problem-solving challenges when plans are not being followed effectively
✅ Support for Complex Situations
While some accommodation processes are simple, others can be frustrating and difficult to navigate. Schools may resist certain supports, require extensive documentation, or fail to provide individualized intervention. When this happens, our educational consulting team steps in to help parents advocate for their child’s rights.
Why an Integrated Approach Matters
By combining neuropsychological evaluation with ongoing school consulting, Light On Anxiety provides families with a full-service solution—ensuring that recommendations don’t just sit in a report but are actually implemented in ways that help children thrive.
