Services
Psychological Assessment
Our psychological assessments combine clinical interviews with objective and projective testing to diagnose mental health conditions. We evaluate personality traits, emotional functioning, and cognitive patterns to create personalized treatment plans. This service helps connect psychological functioning with behavioral outcomes for effective interventions.
Neuropsychological Evaluation
These evaluations measure cognitive abilities including memory, language, and executive functions. We use standardized tests to assess brain functioning for medical, educational, and legal purposes. Results guide treatment planning and rehabilitation strategies for neurological conditions.
ADHD Assessment
Our comprehensive ADHD evaluations include behavioral observations, cognitive testing, and multi-source rating scales. We differentiate ADHD from other attention-related conditions and provide evidence-based intervention recommendations. The assessment covers academic, emotional, and cognitive aspects of attention disorders.
Learning Disability Testing
This service identifies learning disabilities through cognitive and academic achievement testing. We evaluate information processing, memory, and learning styles to develop educational accommodations. Our assessments support IEP and 504 plan development for students with learning challenges.
Cogmed Working Memory Training
Our Cogmed program improves working memory through computerized training. The five-week program includes personalized coaching and adaptive difficulty levels. This evidence-based approach benefits individuals with attention deficits, brain injuries, and age-related cognitive changes.
