W
hen Mrs. Goldberg calls me about her son Zevy I hear the panic in her voice.
“Zevy was fine until sixth grade” Mrs. Goldberg starts. “But then things started going wrong. We’ve tried so many things but nothing is helping. He hates school he’s moody at home and he’s just spiraling downward.”
What changed in sixth grade? School — and life — became more complex but Zevy’s skills did not develop proportionately.
At her intake session I ask her to tell me about her son. “The concerns you mentioned center on school. How is he doing academically?”
