Neuropsychological, Psychological, and Educational Evaluations
Objective data from formal testing provides powerful evidence and strengthens your case when advocating for school accommodations and interventions. Testing identifies hidden challenges that school assessments may overlook, ensuring your child’s needs are fully identified and addressed for more effective support. Skills assessed may include cognitive/thinking ability, attentional and organizational skills, visual-spatial ability, memory and learning skills, problem solving and reasoning, integration and output abilities academic development, emotional, behavioral, and social functioning, and skills of daily living. The assessment aims to provide a clear understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges, offering tailored recommendations for educational, vocational, and intervention planning to support their growth and success.
Each evaluation includes a thorough history, comprehensive record review, the core assessment, and a detailed report outlining the history, test results, diagnostic impressions, recommendations, and next steps. Additionally, a face-to-face feedback session is provided, along with ongoing developmental management and consultation as needed or requested.
