Assessment & Evaluation

We provide comprehensive psychological assessments that define a child’s learning profile, academic strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations for effective remediation and accommodations. The evaluations assess the following areas:

• Intelligence/Cognitive Processes (e.g., processing speed, flexibility)

• Memory

• Executive Functioning

• Attention/Hyperactivity

• Visual Perception and Visual-Motor Skills

• Receptive and Expressive Language Functions

• Social-Emotional and Behavioral Development

• Academic Achievement in all areas of Reading, Mathematics, and Written Expression

 

Our clinicians have a minimum of 5 years of experience working with children and/or adults with a variety of abilities and are well-versed in differential diagnosis, personally tailoring assessments to tap the strengths and weaknesses of individuals’ dependent upon the referral questions in interpretation of test results for parents and students, and in providing specific recommendations for interventions. In addition, we feel it is important that our experienced clinicians personally administer all assessment instruments in order to observe your child across a variety of measures; we do not utilize interns or testing technicians.  This allows us to provide more personal service to you and your child and assures you that a clinician with extensive experience handles all parts of the evaluation. 

Our clinicians have worked in school systems and have expertise regarding Department of Education rules and regulations, particularly those affecting children with special needs. We can assist you in translating test results for school staff and advocating for accommodations or support services needed.
