About this episode
When should you request a school evaluation for your child? In this episode, Ana breaks down the key signs parents should pay attention to—academic red flags, behavior or attention concerns, and communication or developmental delays. You’ll learn what these early indicators can mean, how evaluations open doors to supports like speech therapy, occupational therapy, or special education, and why trusting your instincts as a parent matters.
Knowing when to act can change the trajectory of your child’s learning. If something feels “off,” you don’t have to wait—an evaluation can be the first step toward clarity and support.
