We provide timely diagnostic and comprehensive evaluations with clear reports and relevant recommendations to help you better understand your child’s strengths and growing edges so that you can be more empowered in advocating for their needs.
How We Can Help You:
Neuropsychological Assessment
If you suspect that your child is experiencing difficulties with learning, behavior, or development, seeking a neuropsychological assessment can provide valuable insights and recommendations. Don't wait to take action - early identification and intervention can greatly improve your child's outcomes. Learn more here
School Observation
School observations are sometimes required in addition to a comprehensive evaluation to assess a student's strengths and challenges, identify areas of need, and inform educational planning and interventions. Observations can also provide valuable insights into a student's individual needs and learning style and whether they are a good match for their classroom or educational program.

Toddler Autism Evaluation
If your toddler is showing signs of delayed development, such as difficulty with eye contact, reduced use of gestures (not pointing to things), delayed speech, or repetitive behavior, it may be necessary to seek an autism evaluation for diagnostic clarification to access appropriate and effective services.

Making the decision to move forward with an assessment for your child can be a nerve-racking decision for any parent, and you will likely have questions before we get started. We would be happy to set up a 10-minute free consultation to answer any questions you may have before your visit. If we determine that an assessment is a good option for your child, we’ll schedule a time for your first visit. The average wait-time to be seen for evaluation is 4 to 6 weeks.
