Services
HomeWork Therapy
Our proprietary HomeWork Therapy combines cognitive remediation, tutoring, and psychotherapy to address academic and emotional challenges simultaneously. This approach helps students develop effective learning strategies while building confidence and self-esteem. Our psychologists work one-on-one with students to overcome learning disabilities, attention disorders, and executive function weaknesses through personalized interventions.
Neuropsychological Evaluations
Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations identify learning disabilities, attention disorders, and developmental issues through 8-10 hours of assessment. Our psychologists analyze cognitive patterns to create detailed reports with personalized recommendations for academic accommodations and targeted interventions. The process includes parent consultations and student feedback sessions to explain findings in accessible terms.
Educational Assessments
Educational assessments evaluate academic performance and cognitive functioning to identify specific learning challenges. We assess reading, writing, math skills, and executive functions through individualized testing sessions. Our reports provide actionable recommendations for schools, tutors, and families to implement effective learning strategies and accommodations tailored to each student's needs.
Executive Function Support
Specialized interventions develop executive functioning skills including planning, organization, and time management. Our therapists work with students to implement practical strategies for managing schoolwork, improving focus, and developing effective study habits. This support helps students with ADHD and executive function weaknesses build lifelong organizational skills through consistent, structured guidance.
Academic Tutoring
Targeted academic tutoring addresses specific subject difficulties in reading, writing, math, and test-taking. Our psychologists use evidence-based techniques to remediate skill gaps while addressing underlying cognitive challenges. Sessions focus on building foundational skills and confidence through personalized instruction that adapts to each student's learning style and pace.
