Psychiatric Problems:

You might have been told your child has a psychiatric diagnosis, such as Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, or Mental Retardation. Perhaps you have been told a condition such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder impacts their school work. Or perhaps you have been told in more general way that your child has emotional problems, and or in a more specific way that he/she suffers from depression, anxiety, or psychosis. All of these conditions can be associated with problems with learning and with school.

Diagnoses of this sort often point to the need for general and medical interventions, in addition to educational therapy.
