Psychological Evaluations

Understanding A Child's Unique Needs

Navigating the world of special needs can be challenging. Our psychological evaluations provide comprehensive insights into the child's cognitive, developmental, and emotional functioning. We specialize in working with children who require tailored support, offering a path towards understanding their strengths and addressing their challenges.

Comprehensive Functional Assessment

Our assessments go beyond simple testing. We offer a Comprehensive Functional Assessment that includes:

• Standardized cognitive and developmental testing: We utilize a range of standardized tests to evaluate your child's intellectual abilities (IQ), adaptive behavior, and learning profiles. These assessments provide a clear picture of their cognitive strengths and areas where they may need additional support.
• Behavioral screen: We conduct thorough behavioral screens to assess attention, social interaction skills, and emotional regulation. This helps identify potential challenges related to ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, and other behavioral or emotional difficulties.

Individualized Diagnostic Reporting

Following the assessment, you'll receive an Individualized Diagnostic Report that includes:

• In-depth written report: Our reports provide a detailed overview of the assessment findings, highlighting your child's strengths, challenges, and clinical impressions.
• Clear, jargon-free recommendations: We understand that navigating psychological reports can be overwhelming. That's why we provide clear and concise recommendations for therapy goals and educational accommodations, avoiding unnecessary jargon. We focus on practical strategies you can implement at home and in the classroom.

Family & Educator Consultations

We believe that collaboration is key to your child's success. Our services include:

• One-on-one feedback sessions: We offer personalized feedback sessions to explain the assessment findings and discuss next steps. This is an opportunity to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of your child's needs.
• Collaborative planning: We work closely with teachers and caregivers to integrate support into your child's daily routines. This collaborative approach ensures that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals, maximizing the effectiveness of interventions and accommodations.

Benefits of Psychological Evaluations

Investing in a psychological evaluation for your child can provide numerous benefits, including:

• Early identification of learning disabilities or developmental delays: Early intervention is crucial for maximizing a child's potential. Our evaluations can help identify potential challenges early on, allowing you to access the support and resources your child needs to thrive.
• Development of individualized education programs (IEPs): Our evaluations provide valuable information that can be used to develop effective IEPs, ensuring that your child receives the appropriate accommodations and support in the classroom.
• Improved communication and understanding: By gaining a deeper understanding of your child's cognitive and emotional functioning, you can improve communication and build stronger relationships.
• Targeted interventions and therapies: Our recommendations can guide the selection of appropriate therapies and interventions, ensuring that your child receives the most effective support for their specific needs.
• Enhanced self-esteem and confidence: By addressing their challenges and celebrating their strengths, you can help your child develop greater self-esteem and confidence.
