Were you bored, frustrated or less than happy in school? Did you ever feel as though school days wasted your time or the other kids didn’t “get” you? Did you ever get in trouble for not paying attention or doing a less-than-stellar job on assignments? If even one of these situations sounds familiar to you, you will want to spare your own child that type of academic experience.
Dr. Deborah Ruf founded Educational Options to help parents like you learn what they need to know in order to provide appropriate challenges for their children, challenges, activities, and true peer relationships that help to maintain an enjoyment of learning, and that keep that spark of curiosity alive. When the schools can’t or won’t make the changes necessary to keep your child engaged in learning, she will equip you with the tools you need to make the necessary changes in your child’s academic life.
In a unique three-step process, Dr. Ruf learns what your child is like so that she can give you the most helpful advice.
-
Backed up by Developmental Milestones information you provide, the Stanford-Binet 5 IQ test that Dr. Ruf administers personally to your child provides the information to determine a Level of Giftedness.
-
Personality profile testing of both parents and the child provides information on family dynamics and individual outlooks and preferences, which colors Dr. Ruf’s advice.
-
In a two- to three-hour consultation with the parents, Dr. Ruf discusses in depth the nature of giftedness, the specific strengths and weaknesses of the child, and insights into the possible options for providing the child with the most appropriate and beneficial learning environment.
Here is what one parent says: We would have never been so confident in our decisions to move our children to different schools if we hadn't tested our children. Dr. Ruf had information about each of our children based on their scores and personalities. All of our children were much happier when we moved them into the right environment.
Don’t wait until it’s all-too-clear that either your child isn’t learning what he or she could be learning, or - even sadder - is unhappy in school. Learn more about what you can do to make things better.
