Is a neuropsychological evaluation right for my child?
You know your child is capable of more than their report card shows, or that something is getting in the way. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation helps you understand what it is, and gives you the evidence to ask your school for the right support.
Who it helps
Common diagnoses from an evaluation include:
Autism spectrum disorder
Learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, and difficulties with writing or math
ADHD and executive functioning
Anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns
Intellectual disabilities
What’s included
Every evaluation is tailored to your child’s unique needs and to explore your areas of concern.
Parent intake
A meeting with you and a full developmental history.
School visit
I observe your child in the classroom.
Testing
Thinking, learning, attention, academic and social-emotional skills.
Input from others
Teachers and your child’s other providers weigh in.
What you receive
- A clear diagnosis where one fits
- A written report that explains how your child learns
- Specific recommendations for home and school
- A feedback meeting to walk you through the results
Built for support at school
Before private practice, I was a public school psychologist. I know how school Teams read outside evaluations and what they need to act on one. Every report I write:
- Assesses every area of suspected disability
- Connects results to how your child learns in the classroom
- If warranted, receive specific recommendations for an IEP or 504 Plan
