Teachers’ efforts to help each child be a successful learner are often impeded by behavioral problems that disrupt the classroom. Other children seem to have emotional or psychiatric conditions that interfere with them thriving academically. In fact, often children confide in teachers, hoping to get help for themselves or family members. It’s important that the school attend to these issues quickly, so that problems can be identified early. Otherwise, the academic progress of the troubled children, and the peers in their classrooms can be jeopardized. FAS has assessment tools to help schools acheive their most import objectives.
