Evaluations are conducted for a variety of reasons and can be a valuable tool in helping your child succeed in school.

I am able to conduct assessments for learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADHD, autism, social-emotional functioning, behavioral concerns, and strengths and weaknesses as related to learning or vocation for both children and adults.

Areas of assessment may include:

Psychometric Testing: This includes testing of cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and psychological processing. These tests measure a child's reasoning skills, intellectual ability, memory, attention, academic functioning in the areas of reading, writing, math, and oral language, and how a child perceives and processing information through hearing, sight, and touch.

Social-Emotional Functioning/Behavior: These tests will indicate how a child feels about him/herself, gets along with others, and how they behave within the home and school environments.

Executive Functions: These tests measure attention, planning, and mental flexibility.

Adaptive Behavior: These tests indicate how your child takes care of personal wants and needs on a daily basis.

Evaluations may be conducted in person at a quiet public location (i.e. library) or virtually depending on preference.
