Deborah Garrett, PsyD LEP #4108

Everyone deserves to know what their strengths and areas for improvement are so that they can work on themselves throughout their academic progression. Learning is a skill that some people may have difficulty with throughout their schooling and not know why. Each person is a unique and capable student. However, teachers often tend to teach to the middle ability of their classrooms, leaving some students behind. The sooner one discovers what their style of learning is, the better they will perform academically while building the resilience needed to further their education.
