Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluations

Our ADHD evaluations look far beyond a simple checklist. We assess attention, executive functioning, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and how these challenges appear across home, school, and social settings. The goal is to understand your child’s daily experience — not just label symptoms.

Your child’s assessment may include:

• Standardized rating scales completed by parents and teachers
• Direct cognitive and attention testing
• Executive functioning measures
• A clinical interview to understand history, behavior patterns, and everyday challenges
• Review of how symptoms impact learning, behavior, and relationships

This comprehensive approach helps distinguish ADHD from other concerns that can look similar, such as anxiety, learning disabilities, processing weaknesses, or emotional regulation difficulties.

Families receive:

• A clear diagnosis, when appropriate
• An explanation of how ADHD is affecting learning, behavior, and daily functioning
• Specific school accommodation recommendations
• Home strategies tailored to your child’s needs
• 504/IEP guidance, when appropriate

Our goal is to give you clarity, direction, and a plan that truly supports your child across all environments.

Autism evaluations assess social communication, restricted or repetitive behaviors, sensory processing differences, and your child’s overall developmental history. Because autism can present very differently from child to child, our evaluation is designed to provide a clear, accurate understanding of what’s truly going on.

Our autism assessments include:

• ADOS‑2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) — the gold‑standard, direct‑observation tool for diagnosing ASD
• Comprehensive parent interview
• Developmental history review
• Cognitive testing
• Behavioral and social‑emotional measures, when appropriate

This combination allows us to see how your child communicates, interacts, plays, and responds to social and sensory experiences.

Autism can look different in every child. Some may have strong verbal skills but struggle socially; others may communicate nonverbally, rely on routines, or experience sensory sensitivities. Our evaluation helps disentangle autism from other developmental differences such as ADHD, anxiety, language delays, or learning disabilities.

Families come away with:

• Diagnostic clarity
• A detailed explanation of your child’s unique strengths and needs
• Recommendations for therapies,
• Guidance on school supports,
• And real‑world resources to help your child thrive

Our goal is to give you a complete, compassionate understanding of your child’s developmental profile — and a roadmap for meaningful support.

Dyslexia evaluations focus specifically on reading and phonological processing — the ability to hear, break apart, and manipulate sounds in words. We assess decoding, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and related writing and spelling difficulties to understand exactly where the breakdown is occurring in the reading process.

A dyslexia assessment typically includes:

• Phonological processing
• Decoding and word reading
• Reading fluency
• Reading comprehension
• Spelling and written expression
• Cognitive skills related to reading (working memory, processing speed, verbal reasoning)

Pinpointing the specific area of difficulty is essential for choosing the right intervention — whether your child needs structured literacy instruction, fluency support, or targeted phonological training.

Families receive:

• A clear diagnosis, when appropriate
• An explanation of your child’s specific reading profile
• Recommendations for evidence‑based reading instruction (such as structured literacy approaches)
• Guidance on school accommodations, including IEP or 504 supports
• Practical strategies to help your child succeed at home and in the classroom

Our goal is to give you clarity, direction, and a plan that truly supports your child’s reading development.

Learning disability evaluations identify specific difficulties in reading, writing, math, processing speed, and working memory. We look closely at the skills that underlie academic performance to understand why a child is struggling — not just that they are.

Our assessments include both cognitive ability measures and academic achievement testing, allowing us to determine whether challenges stem from:

• A reading‑specific disorder such as dyslexia
• A math disability such as dyscalculia
• A writing disorder such as dysgraphia
• A broader processing or working‑memory difference

This distinction matters because it determines which interventions will actually help. The right diagnosis guides the right support.

Families receive:

• A clear diagnosis, when applicable
• A detailed explanation of your child’s learning profile
• A roadmap for targeted accommodations,
• Suggested IEP or 504 goals, and
• Evidence‑based tutoring or intervention approaches

Our goal is to give you clarity, direction, and a plan that truly fits your child.

This evaluation looks closely at emotional regulation, anxiety, mood, and overall social‑emotional functioning. We assess how your child is coping internally and how those experiences may be affecting their behavior, learning, relationships, and daily functioning.

Our process includes:

• Standardized emotional and behavioral rating scales completed by parents and teachers
• Self‑report measures when age‑appropriate
• A clinical interview to understand triggers, history, and current functioning
• Review of how emotional factors may be influencing school performance, attention, or learning

Because anxiety, attention difficulties, and learning challenges can overlap or intensify one another, this evaluation is often paired with academic or cognitive testing to provide a complete picture.

Families receive:

• Clear insight into what is driving your child’s emotional struggles
• Recommendations for therapy,
• Guidance on school‑based supports, and
• Practical home strategies to help your child feel more regulated, confident, and understood

Our goal is to help you understand your child’s emotional world and provide a roadmap for meaningful, effective support.

Gifted evaluations assess a child’s cognitive ability to determine eligibility for gifted programming, advanced coursework, or enrichment services. These evaluations look at overall intellectual functioning as well as specific cognitive strengths, including:

• Verbal reasoning
• Nonverbal / spatial reasoning
• Working memory
• Processing speed

Giftedness does not look the same in every child. Some excel in verbal skills, others in visual‑spatial reasoning, problem‑solving, or creativity. In some cases, giftedness can coexist with a learning difference known as being “twice‑exceptional” (2e), where a child shows advanced abilities alongside challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety.

Families receive:

• Eligibility documentation for your school district’s gifted program
• Clear insight into your child’s unique cognitive strengths
• Recommendations for enrichment, advanced coursework, and classroom supports
• Guidance on how to nurture your child’s abilities at home and in school

Our goal is to help you understand your child’s intellectual profile and ensure they have access to the opportunities and supports that help them thrive.
