We provide a holistic and research-informed approach to discuss and investigate parents’ concerns, and to provide guidance on whether behaviors are within the range of developmental expectations, and which services, if any, would be beneficial to pursue. Parents and guardians can expect to walk away with suggestions for activities and monitoring, or recommendations for resources/services to explore. If the child is in a preschool or daycare program, school observations and recommendations are included as part of the screening process. This type of assessment does not provide a diagnosis. Parents who are unsure of what services to pursue, or whether a full assessment is warranted, are encouraged to begin here. Click here for more information.

Through our comprehensive assessment process, we assess a child’s or teen’s cognitive, neurocognitive, academic, emotional, social, and regulatory functioning to uncover both their gifts and areas to support. We value the expertise and input from all important caregivers in a child’s life, including parents/guardians, teachers, and childcare providers. Our assessment process consists of gathering information across multiple environments (e.g., home, school, clinic) to develop a comprehensive profile of a child’s strengths and vulnerabilities. We take a strength-based approach in helping to foster understanding and acceptance of an individual’s unique profile, and how their unique neurodevelopmental constellation might impact their relationships with others. Because we tailor our assessment experience to each individual, prioritizing their sense of safety and comfort throughout the process, we can support children who may not yet feel comfortable separating from caregivers or who may benefit from specific sensory accommodations. Assessment concerns that we investigate include, but are not limited to: learning differences, Autism (including the PDA subtype of Autism), ADHD, emotional distress/trauma, anxiety, and giftedness/twice exceptional profiles.

The specialized Learning Disabilities and Learning Challenges Clinic provides single-day assessments focused on evaluating cognitive predictors of performance along with broad or focused academic evaluations in math, reading, and writing. These are targeted evaluations to help identify a child or adolescent's complex learning profile and whose struggles are primarily limited to academic contexts. This evaluation is also a great fit for individuals who have already received a full neuropsychological evaluation and need updated information for continued accommodations at school.

An interdisciplinary assessment is a unique and highly collaborative comprehensive evaluation completed simultaneously by a psychologist, speech language therapist and occupational therapist. This specialized assessment is designed to eliminate the need for multiple evaluations and instead include our team’s expert lenses, fully integrated into a single streamlined evaluation process that is guided by our interpersonal neurobiology framework. We have thoughtfully designed this process to maximize collaboration among professionals and reduce the burden on families of managing multiple appointments and competing recommendations. Upon completion of the evaluation, all participating assessors will meet with your family to discuss the synthesized outcomes of the assessment process and discuss how the various areas of development that each provider looks at interrelate to one another. In addition to a holistic report, families will receive organized, prioritized recommendations that span professional divisions.

This comprehensive assessment includes detailed evaluation of intelligence, executive functioning, attention and concentration, motor skill development, visuoperception, language, learning, and memory. Additionally, we incorporate a holistic evaluation of the individual’s psychological functioning, emotional functioning, and personality development.

This assessment includes an in-depth evaluation of intelligence, executive functioning, attention and concentration, motor skill development, visuoperception, language, learning, and memory. However, it does not include an evaluation of the individual’s psychological functioning.

Our Autism evaluation process is a collaborative partnership between the psychologist and the client to explore the client’s unique constellation of strengths, differences, challenges, and vulnerabilities. Through investigation of various neuropsychological capacities and characteristics, the evaluation will explore the intersections of cognition, executive functioning, communication, and emotional-regulation to consider whether the client’s constellation aligns with an Autistic profile. We recognize the implicit biases of neurotypicality within many assessment measures and subsequently incorporate a balance of standardized and interview/experience-based feedback into our holistic evaluation. Our approach celebrates each client’s neurodivergence, lived experiences, and differences rather than seeking to mask or eliminate them.

Our young adult ADHD evaluations are designed to investigate the roots of attention-based challenges and deeply understand how one’s brain constellation impacts their day-to-day experiences. Through comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of attention, processing, memory, executive functioning, and emotional-regulation, this assessment will uncover an individual’s unique cognitive profile and consider the ways any cognitive gaps lead to attentional vulnerabilities in their life. Our assessment approach celebrates neurodivergence and invites individuals into partnership with the psychologist to determine ideal supports for home life, peer interactions, and school/college accommodations.

With greater access to information and shared experiences on TikTok and Snapchat, we can find ourselves wondering if specific diagnoses fit our unique profiles and lived experiences. Screenings are a great starting point for individuals who are wondering whether their thoughts, feelings, and experiences are expected or whether they might benefit from further evaluation or possible support. Screenings do not diagnose, but will give you information and guidance as to whether additional services would be helpful for you, and if so, what types of therapeutic approaches might be a good fit for your needs and personality.

This focused and specialized assessment is designed to address specific questions and concerns related to how an individual learns, and evaluate how their unique learning profile impacts wellbeing across their work, community, and social experiences. In particular, this type of assessment may evaluate for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Non-verbal Learning Disorder, and Autism, among other possible neurocognitive profiles, and make recommendations, as needed, for academic or employment-related supports and accommodations that will allow the individual to succeed.

The giftedness evaluation process explores a client’s range of cognitive, behavioral, physical, and psychological exceptionalities and provides recommendations, when appropriate, for any accommodations and modifications needed for them to thrive.

This unique and specialized comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation regards the relationships between neurocognitive dysfunction, neuropathology, and the behavioral and/or cognitive issues related to a client’s legal proceedings. We evaluate for capacity, fitness for duty, return to work, brain injury, worker’s compensation, and more.

Our psychological assessment is designed to evaluate an individual's personality, emotional and psychological state, and to diagnose and help treat psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder).
