Comprehensive Assessments

I provide comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessments for children and adolescents. My goal with assessments is to collaborate with the entire family to help you and your child gain increased understanding of their learning and emotional/behavioral style, awareness of strengths and weaknesses, and to identify specific strategies to facilitate changes. A thorough assessment helps us to understand of your child’s learning style, identify any diagnoses that may be relevant, and to collaborate on a plan for change. It also provides information that may be used to request accommodations in school if your child qualifies. Often the assessment acts as a therapeutic intervention in and of itself.

 Assessments may be helpful for children who:  

·      Have difficulties focusing

·      Procrastinate

·      Can’t complete work on time

·      Are underachieving in school

·      Don’t following directions

·      Have difficulty with reading, writing, or math

·      Show behavioral problems

·      Have social problems

·      Experience anxiety or frequent worry

·      Are frequently sad or depressed
