​No Barriers To Learning
Cathy Mason, Educational Diagnostician and Learning Specialist
SERVICES
In-service Training
​​
I conduct workshops and other types of training in Dyslexia, Lanuage-based instruction, math learning difficulties, ADHD and executive function disorders.
Observation
​​
I observe students in their current or proposed school setting to gather information on how a student is responding to their program, or to evaluate the appropriateness of a program to a student’s learning needs.
Consultation
-
Assistance with students when there is limited consensus between the family and the school team or when collaboration with outside providers is required for optimal care.
-
Provide direct consultation to teaching staff to assess behavior and learning needs and assist in implementation of specific interventions.
-
Provide advocacy to parent at school meetings in a clinical, rather than a legal role.
Evaluation
​​
Education Evaluation: In-depth assessment of a student’s skills in reading, written language and math to determine the following:
-
How the student’s academic functioning compares to other students in the same grade or of the same age
-
What factors are contributing to the student’s academic problems
-
What specific educational interventions are needed to help the student learn
Includes testing, interpretation of scores and a detailed report which contains recommendations for school programming
Cognitive Evaluation: In-depth assessment of cognitive functioning including verbal and nonverbal intelligence and memory and/or executive function measures (if needed)
