● Do not follow through and complete assignments and projects

● Have reduced motivation for school and declining grades
● Have anxiety and/or depression
● Have emotional and/or social stress that is affecting school performance or low self-esteem when it comes to learning At Smart Love Family Services, your child will be supported by a professional with educational and mental health training to provide high-quality tutoring, while also working to increase your child’s motivation, improve attention and concentration, build organizational and planning skills, decrease school avoidance and anxiety, and access their innate strengths.

The psychoeducational evaluation reports also provide information that is helpful in discussions with schools.
