Chancy & Bruce Educational

Chancy and Bruce Educational Resources, Inc. was founded in the early 1980s as a unique service to children, parents, teachers and schools in assessing children using a developmental profile. This profile looks at children between the ages of 2 1/2 to 18 years. It assesses children in the processing skill areas that are needed for formal learning. Children in grades one through twelve are also given assessments in reading, comprehension, spelling, writing, and mathematics. Social-Emotional maturity and attention-span maturity are also profiled. Recommendations are made in regards to school readiness, grade level placement, and if further diagnostic assessment is necessary. Referrals are made when requested. Other services include parent education, staff development, and recommendations for prescriptive intervention.
