Psychoeducational Evaluations
Comprehensive. Individualized. Neurodivegent Affirming.
Helping children identify and enhance strengths and overcome obstacles at home and school.
Psychoeducational evaluations, provided by our nationally certified school psychologist, are geared towards understanding your child’s unique learning needs, behavior, and/or mental health. Using a global assessment approach with interviews, observations, and direct and indirect assessment measures, we are able to provide families with a comprehensive framework about their child's unique cognitive processing, intellectual capacity, and current academic functioning across settings. Recommendations are geared towards helping a child reach their academic potential. Consultation with school staff regarding assessment results is available.
COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUATIONS
One Assessment. One Parent Interview. And One Highly Skilled Team of Professionals.
Our team, which includes a social worker, 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.
