Let’s find out how your child thinks.
Diagnostic, psychoeducational and developmental assessments from early childhood through college. Every evaluation ends with a report a school can use on Monday morning.
The precise word is the kindness.
Specific learning disorders
Learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia: specific difficulties with reading, writing and math.
ADHD and executive functioning
Attention, impulse control, organization and the skills that get homework from the backpack to the teacher.
Autism spectrum
Social communication and patterns of behavior, assessed with standardized tools and careful history.
Anxiety
Worry that gets in the way of learning, friendships or sleep, and how it interacts with everything else.
Mood and behavior
Low mood, irritability, big reactions and behavior at home or school, and what is driving them.
Giftedness
Advanced reasoning and how to feed it, including bright children whose gifts mask a learning difference.
Developmental delays
Language, motor, play and early learning milestones in young children.
Psychoeducational assessment
The full picture of how a student thinks and learns: reasoning, memory, attention and academic skills.
Triennial re-evaluations
Updated testing about every three years, to keep school plans and accommodations current.
The Early Years
“Is he ready, and is this typical?”
Developmental assessment and kindergarten readiness.
- Language, play and early learning
- Attention, regulation and social development
- Readiness for a classroom, and what would help
The School Years
“Why is school this hard for a bright child?”
Diagnostic and psychoeducational evaluation.
- Reasoning, memory and processing speed
- Reading, writing and math
- We provide a full diagnostic evaluation to answer questions that may arise
The Upper School Years
“What changed, and what does he need now?”
Diagnostic and psychoeducational evaluation.
- A fresh look when an old report is out of date
- Learning, attention and executive skills as the workload grows
- Recommendations and collaboration with your student for skills and tools they are willing to use. We are preparing them for independence.
The Launch
“What will she need to do this on her own?”
Updated evaluation and documentation for SAT, ACT and college accommodations requests.
- Current testing that meets documentation requirements
- A clear record for SAT, ACT and college disability offices
- A plan the student owns, not the parent
The whole picture, in order.
- A parent conversation before any testing
- Testing sessions paced for your child
- A full written clinical report
- A Field Guide to your child: the parent summary
- A feedback session to walk through what we found
- Optional: a school meeting and plan development
Written for schools
Recommendations are written so a school can use them in an IEP, a 504 plan or an independent-school learning plan.
When to update
Schools, colleges and testing agencies usually want recent testing. Plan a re-evaluation before a major transition.
