| | |  | | The Changing Canvas As the campus transitions into fall, students are settling into their daily rhythms while continuing to grow, layer by layer. While the school year now feels familiar, the canvas inside the school is nowhere close to finished as students build confidence, learn to self-advocate, and discover new strengths. Together, let's reflect on these subtle, meaningful brushstrokes of progress happening across the community. |

| | | |  | | Now Open: The Howard School Evaluation Center The Howard School is pleased to announce the launch of The Howard School Evaluation Center, which provides comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults throughout metro Atlanta. The Center evaluates learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD and executive functioning, autism, anxiety, memory, language, processing speed, and social-emotional concerns. Evaluations may also provide documentation to support requests for accommodations on the ACT and SAT when appropriate. All testing and results are confidential and shared only with families and those they authorize. The Evaluation Center is open to the public. Students do not need to attend or be considering The Howard School to receive services, so everyone is welcome to share this resource with friends, family members, and others in your community. |
