Assessment
Your child is struggling in school. You’ve tried everything you can think of to help, but they are still falling behind. Every afternoon you dread the “homework wars” as you and your child work so hard but still can’t seem to connect the dots and master the material.
Or, perhaps your child struggles to stay focused long enough to get even the simplest of assignments completed, let alone an extensive writing assignment or long-term project. You wonder, could it be a learning difference like dyslexia or dysgraphia causing these struggles? What about dyscalculia or ADHD?
Maybe your child is falling behind in other ways, such as in language, social skills and peer relationships, or in meeting their developmental milestones. You wonder, could they be on the Autism Spectrum?
Does your child seem to have such incredible skills and areas of strength, but struggle to control their emotions and behavior? Are they highly anxious or best described as “intense.” You find yourself thinking, “How can my child be so bright, maybe even gifted, and yet have so much trouble controlling their emotions and behavior?”
That’s where we come in. We are experts in conducting evaluations that uncover the root cause of the problem. then use this information to create a detailed treatment plan, or “Roadmap to Success“ that is thorough and personalized to your individual child/teen.
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 will guide you through each step of the process and beyond!

Step 1 - Parents-Only Consultation
We discuss the concerns you have for your child, take a detailed clinical history, determine the appropriate testing battery and explain the evaluation process in detail.
Step 2 - Evaluation Sessions
Our comprehensive evaluation typically consists of two appointments that last around 3 hours each. Sometimes a third session is needed depeding upon the child and assessment needed. The psychologist will let you know if this is necessary.
Step 3 - Parents-only Feedback Session
At the final parent meeting, usually scheduled 2-3 weeks after testing, the psychologist reviews the results and provides a written report summarizing the results of testing as well as extensive recommendations for treatment at home and at school. Our detailed reports provide the information required for obtaining Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 plans in both public and private schools.
Step 4 - Follow Up Consultation with Educational Consultant
After your feedback session you will have the opportunity to speak with our Educational Consultant, a certified teacher and former school administrator. She will walk you through the recommendations for both home and school, connect you to local resources, help you navigate the process of getting accommodations or an IEP at school, and facilitate any other needs you may have.
