Academic underachievement in children, adolescents, and young adults is a multifaceted issue that extends beyond mere academic performance.
This CME session will explore a systematic approach to evaluating academic underachievement, considering not only clinical issues such as learning disabilities, depression, anxiety, but also the effects of environmental factors such as school bullying and excessive device use.
The session will also cover assessment tools and offer practical strategies for addressing these challenges, offering a comprehensive approach to supporting young patients in their academic and personal development.
