Transformative Journey with XQ Focus Consulting
Initial Challenges and Concerns
Jacob, a 6th grade student attending a great public school in the suburbs of New York City, was referred to XQ Focus Consulting LLC in 2020 by his parents after receiving a concerning neuropsychological evaluation report that found major neurocognitive and psychological challenges including ADD, Expressive Language Disorder (writing), and Specific Learning Disorder with Impairment in Reading (reading comprehension, reading fluency, and reading accuracy).
His parents reported to us that Jacob struggled with reading comprehension, scoring at Level 1 on the New York State standardized exam, had below grade-level writing abilities, showed severe symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and exhibited very low self-confidence and motivation to thrive at school.
Tailored Action Plan and Comprehensive Support
After closely reviewing and interpreting Jacob’s neuropsychological evaluation, we had an accurate understanding of the root cause of his struggles. That understanding, coupled with insights gleaned after meeting with him and his parents, helped us provide the family a detailed action plan tailored specifically for his needs.
Overcoming Hurdles and Achieving Success
Through offering holistic, brain-based and creative protocols, we helped enhance Jacob's confidence and self-awareness leading to significant academic growth. With our guidance, Jacob developed key analytical thinking and executive functions skills and became a straight A student, excelling in his academic pursuits. We also supported his parents in advocating for him at school and provided assistance with various enrichment opportunities outside of school. For example, we helped Jacob participate in writing contests frequently. He received recognition from the prestigious Scholastic Writing Contest for his short story in 9th grade.
As Jacob approaches the college application process, we continue to support him in mastering executive functions and writing skills, ensuring his success in higher education. Jacob now leads a fulfilling life, actively engaging in community service and maintaining a healthy social-emotional balance while remaining highly motivated in his academic endeavors as he nears the end of high school.
