Frequently Asked Questions:

How do educational difficulties differ from learning disabilities?

Educational difficulties encompass a wide range of issues that can impede academic performance, not all of which stem from learning disabilities. Our psychoeducational assessments delve into the root causes of your child’s academic challenges—whether they’re linked to specific learning disabilities, environmental factors like classroom settings, or other developmental delays—to pinpoint the most effective interventions.

What does the psychoeducational assessment process involve?

Through a comprehensive suite of tests evaluating cognitive abilities, academic skills, and emotional well-being, psychoeducational assessments offer an in-depth understanding of your child’s unique learning profile. This detailed analysis aids in crafting tailored strategies and support systems to address specific educational hurdles, ensuring a path to success tailored to your child’s needs.

Can educational difficulties impact a child’s social life?

Struggles in the classroom can extend beyond academics, affecting your child’s social interactions and self-esteem. Our approach aims to holistically address these educational challenges, fostering an environment where your child can thrive both academically and socially, enhancing their confidence and ability to connect with peers.

What role do parents play in addressing educational difficulties?

Active parental engagement is vital in navigating and managing educational difficulties. We empower parents with knowledge, strategies, and advocacy tools to support their child’s learning journey. By partnering with you, we ensure that you are equipped to make informed decisions and advocate effectively for your child’s educational needs within the school system and beyond.

How are results from psychoeducational testing utilized?

The insights gained from psychoeducational assessments form the cornerstone for developing comprehensive educational plans, such as IEPs or 504 plans. These personalized plans outline specific accommodations and teaching strategies tailored to bolster your child’s learning experience, ensuring they receive the support necessary to excel.

How does Mind Works collaborate with schools on assessment outcomes?

We proactively engage with schools to facilitate the recognition and implementation of assessment findings. By fostering a collaborative relationship between families and educational institutions, we advocate for the adoption of recommended accommodations and interventions, championing your child’s right to a supportive learning environment.

Can therapy and medication management support children with educational difficulties?

While psychoeducational assessments focus on educational and cognitive aspects, addressing emotional and behavioral factors is also crucial. Therapy and medication management can play significant roles in a comprehensive treatment plan, especially when educational difficulties coexist with conditions like ADHD, anxiety, or depression. These interventions can enhance focus, reduce anxiety, and improve overall emotional resilience, further supporting academic success.

Success Stories

“Highly recommend Mind Works. I am a clinician in Illinois and needed to find a clinic in Texas that could provide services to my client that was moving. This is no easy feat to do across the United States. Mind Works was fabulous to work with from the very beginning. Coordination of care was 5 stars and my “previous” client is very happy with their new counselor. Thank you very much for going above and beyond during this difficult time so many other counseling offices are facing. I appreciate all the help and coordination you offered my client!”

Shelley Skas

“I have known the owners for over 8 years and have taken a family member to Mind Works. Therefore, I can speak of them both personally and professionally. There truly is no better place for this service, especially for children and young adults. On the personal level, I know how much they truly care about everyone they meet. On a professional level, the entire staff is a reflection of the dedication to helping others and competence that gets results that the owners exude. During the incredibly trying time of this pandemic and the fear and anxiety it has caused many people, we are incredibly blessed to have Mind Works available to support.”

Don’t hesitate to give them call.”

Esther Kelly

“The front desk staff is kind and courteous and helped me find the right therapist for my child. When I met my therapist she was kind and explained the process to me. I love that she included me in the play therapy process and helped me understand how to help my child. Thankful for the therapists at Mind Works!”

Amira Maya-Martinez

“Mindworks is the leader in child centered play therapy and collaborative care in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Their focus is solely on the mental health of children and teenagers. Each clinician at all four locations is seasoned, knowledgeable, experienced, and capable. Parents trust that their child is going to get the treatment and services they need and deserve.
