Why We Share: What to do When Your Child is Diagnosed as “Fine”

Parents take their children for assessments when their child is thought to have a learning disability. Too often, children are diagnosed as “fine”. This diagnosis is troubling as “fine” does not describe the cognitive complications a child may be experiencing. In this video, Kyra sheds light on what to do when a child is diagnosed as “fine” for parents, teachers, and other therapists. We hope with this video that viewers reconsider what “fine” means and consider a second opinion when “fine” is indicative of “not fine”.

Kyra Minichan is not a traditional SLP. With another degree in education in addition to her degree in speech-language pathology, Kyra provides online educational services to the smart but struggling learner. Her experience in neurotrauma has taught her how to rehabilitate brains and help the smart but struggling student succeed in academics while bringing their family peace.
