REASON FOR REFERRAL:
How can Davids parents help him with his reading and confidence in learning?
David is a 9-year-old boy who is currently in grade 3 at Mount Pleasant Park Elementary. He was
referred for a psycho-educational assessment by his parents due to academic difficulties, in the area
of reading and spelling despite current school-based interventions. More specifically, his teacher
noted that he struggles with decoding words and spells phonetically. Davids parents also noted that
he is having social-emotional difficulties with peers. They were also concerned that his difficulty
in reading is leading to anxiety when having to read aloud or when his peers notice that he is
receiving extra support from his teacher. This evaluation was undertaken to evaluate Davids
current level and pattern of intellectual, cognitive, and academic functioning, and to provide
recommendations for intervention in the school and home environment.
