When your child is struggling, whether it’s with challenging behaviors at home, difficulty learning at school, or they seem to be falling behind their peers in development, you want a professional who not only has the expertise and experience needed to provide a thorough evaluation, but who truly cares about your family and will walk with you each and every step of the way.

The Psychologists at Wright Psychology & Counseling are experts in evaluations that uncover the root cause of your child’s struggles. We customize each and every evaluation to your child’s unique needs, and then use this information to create a detailed treatment plan, or “Roadmap to Success“ that is thorough and personalized to your individual child.  

You will leave our office with a clear understanding of why your child isn’t reaching their full potential and what to do about it. We are here to guide you through each step of the process, and beyond!  

Every assessment includes, at no extra cost, ongoing follow up and consultation with our Educational Consultant.  She is a Certified Teacher and former public school administrator, and can help you understand and implement recommendations at home and school, navigate the complex special education process, and connect with local resources to get your child the help they need to succeed.  

This extra support is part of what makes Wright Psychology & Counseling a top choice for neuropsychological and educational assessments throughout the region!

Why choose Wright Psychology & Counseling for your child’s Neuropsychological or Psycho-educational Evaluation? 

1. BEST IN CLASS ASSESSMENT TOOLS – We use state-of-the-art and cutting edge assessment tools in our evaluations. We stay up to date on the latest procedures and incorporate digital assessment (using iPad administration) which not only improves accuracy and efficiency of testing, but makes the process more engaging and fun for kids!

2. WORK DIRECTLY WITH A PSYCHOLOGIST FROM START TO FINISH – We never use technicians – your child will work directly with the Licensed Psychologist throughout the entire process. This allows us to truly get to know your child, which is invaluable in forming diagnostic opinions and developing customized treatment plans.

3. IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST A DIAGNOSIS – Our philosophy and purpose of testing is to learn about your child’s overall profile of strengths and vulnerabilities, which helps us to understand their neuropsychological profile and guide interventions to support their emotional growth as well as their learning in school. We do not view the purpose of testing as just “finding the right diagnosis.”  In fact, many of the kids and teens we see in our office DO NOT meet the full criteria for a diagnosable mental or behavioral health disorder – so while it’s important to understand their neuropsychological profile and provide understanding of why they might be struggling, applying a diagnosis they don’t truly have could do more harm than good. Rest assured, we are thoughtful in our diagnostic process and never make a diagnosis unless it is truly warranted. If you feel an evaluation would be helpful for your child but are worried about your child being “labeled” without justification, please reach out to us! 

4. PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY – On a related note, because we have chosen to work outside of the limitations and requirements of insurance, your child’s evaluation results will remain private and confidential. We are not required to submit a mental health disorder diagnosis in order for insurance to pay our claims, and therefore we only make a diagnosis if it truly fits. This diagnosis will not be shared with third-party payers and can therefore remain confidential. 

5. DESIGNED JUST FOR KIDS AND TEENS – We are specialists in the assessment of children and teens. We know how to make the process comfortable and even enjoyable for kids, and our office is designed to help kids feel right at home! 

6. ONGOING SUPPORT – The evaluation doesn’t stop after your results/feedback meeting – we know that for many families this is just the beginning of their journey! Many Psychologists treat the feedback session as the final stop in the process, but most parents leave that meeting full of ongoing questions and worries about their next steps and their child’s future. We are committed to serving our families even after the the evaluation report is finalized and results are shared – you will never feel alone as you move forward in getting your child the care they need post-evaluation! Our team is here to support you, with no additional charges or fees, for as long as you need us.
