Pam Kennedy, certified School Psycho-logical Examiner, and Louise Thomas, certified School Psychologist have launched Testing 1, 2, 3, offering per-sonalized evaluations and testing for educational and social concerns. Their

one-on-one approach can quickly ad-dress classroom struggles and identify solutions and accommodations to keep the student on track for success. The home-based testing environment is less stressful for students and allows Testing 1, 2, 3 to keep fees among the lowest in the St. Louis area. They also offer after school and weekend testing, so that students do not have to miss school. Call 961-6714 for information or visit www.testingonetwothree.net.
