The Summer Roadmap for a Stronger School Year

Summer offers something families don’t have much of during the school year: free time. Using some of that time strategically can help get support in place for your child or teen before the structure (and stress!) of fall returns.

Maybe your child struggled to stay organized this school year, or homework battles became a nightly routine. Maybe focus, attention, or school performance felt harder than expected, or maybe something just feels “off,” and you’re looking for answers.

At the Horwitz-Zusman Child & Family Center (HZ) at JF&CS, we provide specialty services including psychoeducational testing, ADHD evaluation and treatment, and Executive Function Coaching. Understanding which service may be the right fit can feel overwhelming. Here’s a quick guide to what each service offers:

  • Psychoeducational Testing for Learning and School Concerns

Psychoeducational testing helps clarify why a child may be struggling in school. Evaluations assess learning differences like dyslexia, ADHD, emotional functioning, and cognitive strengths and challenges. Results include clear, individualized recommendations for school and home support.

  • ADHD Evaluation, Diagnosis, and Treatment

If your child struggles with attention, impulsivity, or organization, an ADHD evaluation can provide clarity. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning to support focus, behavior, and daily functioning across settings.

  • Executive Function Coaching for School Readiness Skills

Executive function coaching helps children and teens build practical skills in planning, organization, time management, task initiation, and follow-through, skills that directly support success in school and daily routines.
