Academic struggles may come about as the result of specific learning disorders such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and/or dysgraphia, problems with working memory or sustained attention, slow processing speed, problems encoding and retrieving new information, problems with emotional or behavioral regulation, etc. A person may also struggle in their workplace due to a number of possible issues that begin to interfere with career success. A neuropsychological evaluation helps to understand these issues so that a plan of action can be developed to improve the person's quality of life.
