A formal dyslexia assessment for a student at an international school in Florence should be conducted by an HCPC-registered educational psychologist, follow the DSM-5-TR or ICD-11 diagnostic criteria, and produce a report that the IB, Cambridge International, Edexcel, and the College Board will accept as...
Eindhoven pulls in international families through Brainport and the tech employers around it, the kind of households where English is the working language and a move abroad is always on the table. The local GGZ was never built for them: long ADHD waits, assessment in...
