[quote=Anonymous]My child is 6 and has had a long history of difficulty remembering any symbolic associations -- numbers, colors, letters, facts, friends names, you name it. He's smart, and seems to understand the concepts, but struggles to remember the labels and therefore struggles getting his point across. He's frustrated, and this has started to translate in big meltdowns lately -- a few times every single day. we would like to better understand his particular mix of strengths and weaknesses, so that we can better guide him.

We're in NOVA, but for a good, personalized evaluation, we're ready to go wherever we need to go. If GMU can do the trick, we'll be happy to stay in our area, but if Children's is a better place we'll go there. We have had a poor experience with his older sister (ADHD) at a local private clinic, and we really would like to find a better place for him (as well as for a re-check of his sister). Where do people go for a quality assessment -- not only of the weaknesses, but also of the strengths that a child may have? Do we have a "gold standard" in the area?
