At this time of the year

Booking an assessment means that you can get teacher input

Teachers have just spent 10 months getting to know your child

Their observations are very meaningful to the diagnostic decision making

If you are unsure if your child needs an assessment

Ask their teacher this simple question

If no support is provided for my child

Will they

Thrive and improve

Or

Fall behind

If you have any questions we are happy to help!

I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it

Young athletes have individual needs and should be encouraged to develop their own pre-game rituals

What works for one athlete

May create anxiety for another

Anxiety impacts ultimate performance

In some cases it can trigger survival mode and fight, flight, freeze

Which is not how you want to send your athletes into their games or performances

Knowing how an athlete experiences stress and what helps them thrive

Helps them (and the team) win 🏆

What is one thing you can get rid of today to help get out of overwhelm?

Remember NO is a complete sentence.

If no feels too harsh and makes you uncomfortable

Try:

My schedule is currently full

Or

I am not currently accepting those types of opportunities

Yes! Psycho-educational assessments help athletes!

Knowing how your brain processes information helps athletes and coaches identify strategies for training

When you aren’t struggling to learn plays, choreography or technique

You can focus on optimal performance.

Return to sport and return to game

When it comes to athlete injuries

Planning a way forward is important

As it can help to get in front of concerns like anxiety and depression

Working as a team with coaches, physios, doctors and psychologists

Helps everyone be on the same page and support the athlete

Return to sport is not necessarily the same physical readiness as return to game.

The difference can be very emotional for the athlete.

Supporting them is key

A strategy worth trying

To support struggling readers

Is to use materials with varying

Fonts

Letter sizes

Colours

Some students are able to read more easily when presented with a font that makes sense to them

For example

Some will have an easier time with serifs

And others with sans serifs

If your child has had ongoing challenges with reading

An assessment may be a helpful tool in providing their teacher with guidance on how to teach your child using strategies that make sense for them.

If you have questions about an assessment
