Cognitive, Academic and Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
Comprehensive. Individualized. Neurodivergent Affirming.
Helping children identify and enhance strengths and overcome obstacles at home and school.
- Psychoeducational evaluations (cognitive and/or academic testing) are provided by our nationally certified school psychologist. These evaluations are geared towards understanding your child’s unique learning needs, behavior, academic development, and/or mental health, including identifying learning disabilities.
- Neurodevelopmental Evaluations are available through our Neurodevelopmental Collaborative Clinic with Dr. Jennifer Huffman of The Able Center. This path is for parents seeking both an educational and medical evaluation for consideration of Autism Spectrum or other neurodevelopmental differences.
- School-Based Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) are geared toward determining eligibility for special education services. The school district typically pays for these at the parent's request and the district's approval.
CRITICAL CORE
Role Playing Game Meets Developmental Therapy
Critical Core combines modern developmental therapies with the mechanics of tabletop role-playing games to help kids connect with their families, their friends, and the world around them. Players build social confidence, communication and collaboration skills, develop frustration tolerance, emotional resilience, and caring for others, all while rolling dice and having fun.
COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUATIONS
One Assessment. One Parent Interview. And One Highly Skilled Team of Professionals.
Our team, which includes a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist and developmental therapist, completes a comprehensive evaluation for your child in a single afternoon. Using play-based techniques, parent interview, and formal and informal assessment tools, we provide families with a comprehensive framework about their child's unique development. This assessment technique uses a child's natural emotions and interests to identify how social, emotional, motor, communication and intellectual capacities work together. We use this information to construct recommendations that are centered in the unique developmental needs of your child.
