Neurodevelopmental Learning Assessments

While The Dunn Institute currently does not have the capacity to assess students using Dr. Mel Levine's approach, we refer interested families to the Center for School Success (CSS) in West Lebanon, NH. CSS works with school-aged children and young adults (from 2nd grade-college) who experience learning challenges in general education classes.

CSS assessments are tailored to each individual student. They are designed to identify neurodevelopmental strengths and weaknesses and to link the strengths and weaknesses to academic skills. For example, to discover why a student may struggle with spelling, CSS clinicians examine memory, attention, language and sequencing. The assessment is dynamic in that CSS clinicians interact with the student during the process, talking about how the student approaches problems and experimenting with possible accommodations.

Note: CSS services focus primarily on learning issues within the general classroom, so their assessment model is not suitable for students with more severe needs.
