Many parents struggle with the question of whether testing for their child is necessary. Often the initial consideration is brought on by your child struggling in school, having difficulty completing testing on time, having trouble paying attention in class, experiencing organizational challenges, scoring below grade level in reading, writing, or math, feeling frustrated quickly, having behavioral difficulties, or having difficulty socializing with peers. You should take comfort in knowing that many parents are looking for answers. They have seen their child struggle with learning or emotional issues and want to understand a clear path forward.

At Greenwich Psychology Group, our symptom checker helps clients track their symptoms of depression or anxiety. Taking the assessment doesn't provide a formal diagnosis, but it can help you determine what next steps you may need to take. The evaluation uses a series of questions to review the feelings and symptoms you've experienced over the past two weeks. The results will help you distinguish if professional help is the best next step.
