Carolyn Petterson, Ed. S.

With over 19 years of dedicated service as a School Psychologist in both public education systems and private practice, I bring extensive expertise in psycho-educational and gifted evaluations. My professional journey began with earning an Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology from the University of Florida in 2004, forming the foundation of my commitment to supporting children and their families. I specialize in conducting comprehensive assessments tailored to identify learning disorders, ADHD, and giftedness, ensuring each child receives personalized attention. Flexibility is central to my practice, offering evaluations during weekends and school breaks to accommodate families' schedules. I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for children, leveraging my dual perspective as both a professional and a mother of two.

My approach emphasizes clear communication, evidence-based methodologies, and actionable insights to guide parents and educational institutions. All evaluations incorporate free initial consultations, ensuring alignment with families' goals. Test results are delivered promptly, typically within five business days, accompanied by detailed written reports. My practice serves clients primarily in Broward County, Florida, with adaptable options for neighboring areas. Every interaction reflects a steadfast dedication to ethical standards, client-centered care, and measurable outcomes that support children's academic and emotional development.
