Psychological Testing
Comprehensive psychological evaluations identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses through standardized testing. Our assessments examine intellectual functioning, memory, attention, and executive functioning to create targeted intervention strategies. The process includes detailed feedback sessions and written reports for families and educators.
Educational Assessment
Academic performance assessments measure reading, writing, math, and language skills to identify learning disorders. We evaluate processing speed and phonological awareness to determine appropriate educational accommodations. Results inform individualized education plans and classroom support strategies.
ADHD Evaluation
Specialized testing for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder includes behavioral observations and rating scales. Our comprehensive approach assesses executive functioning, impulse control, and sustained attention across multiple settings. The evaluation includes treatment recommendations and school collaboration.
Autism Spectrum Assessment
Diagnostic evaluations for autism spectrum disorders use standardized tools and developmental history analysis. We assess social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing patterns. The process includes family interviews and multidisciplinary collaboration for accurate diagnosis.
Learning Disorder Testing
Specialized assessments identify specific learning disorders including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. We evaluate phonological processing, reading fluency, and mathematical reasoning to determine eligibility for educational accommodations and interventions.
