Description

At the heart of every child's success is an accurate evaluation and proper identification of their unique needs. Many children struggle silently due to undiagnosed or misdiagnosed processing disorders, often mistaken for other conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, or emotional disorders. Without correct identification, these children face ongoing frustration and academic failure. With extensive expertise in special education advocacy, Ms. Kotler has dedicated her career to helping families uncover the real challenges their children face. She has identified profound hearing loss in a young man misdiagnosed with ADD, recognized petit mal seizures in a child previously overlooked by medical professionals, and correctly spotted visual and auditory processing disorders that had been mistaken for learning disabilities. Her deep knowledge ensures that families receive the guidance they need to secure proper support for their children. The consequences of misdiagnosis and inadequate support can be severe. A significant number of children in special education drop out of high school, and many youth in juvenile detention have undiagnosed disabilities. In the face of a growing youth mental health crisis, it is more important than ever to ensure that children receive the right interventions early on.
