At St. Vincent’s
we have or have had students who have been diagnosed with
ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, language processing deficiencies, hearing
loss, Turettes Syndrome, oppositional-defiant disorder, oral
motor apraxia, gross/minor motor delays, specific learning
disabilities, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, and short term
memory deficits. We also have students with medical concerns
such as asthma, arthritis, acid reflux, diabetes, and allergies.
If teachers recommend testing or if you are considering having
your child tested for any learning disability, please check with
our principal. Mrs. Stewart can discuss testing options with
you. Students attending our school may be tested through their
public school district, or parents may opt for private testing.
There is no cost to parents for public school evaluations, and
Mrs. Stewart has references for private testing. She also has
several school parents who are willing to discuss options
“parent to parent.” We feel it is always better to check out any
learning difficulties when a child isn‘t progressing
academically or socially as we would expect, rather than wait
and risk the child becoming further behind in the
learning/social process.
