Evaluation Services
Many families seek an evaluation because something doesn’t quite add up. A child may be working hard but still struggling academically, emotional concerns may be emerging alongside learning difficulties, or previous supports may not be producing meaningful change.
Our evaluation services are designed to clarify what is driving a child’s challenges and to provide thoughtful, practical guidance that supports informed decision-making at home and at school.
Comprehensive Psychological & Neuropsychological Evaluations
Best suited for families seeking a broad, integrated understanding of their child’s learning, thinking, and emotional functioning.
Comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations examine how a child processes information, learns new material, regulates emotions, and manages everyday demands. These evaluations are especially helpful when concerns span multiple areas or when a child’s profile has become increasingly complex over time.
Assessments are individualized and may include measures of:
- Cognitive abilities and problem-solving
- Academic skills and learning patterns
- Attention, executive functioning, and working memory
- Emotional, behavioral, and social-emotional functioning
- Strengths that support resilience and growth
The goal is not simply diagnosis, but a nuanced understanding of how a child’s strengths and vulnerabilities interact—and how that understanding can guide effective support.
A comprehensive evaluation is best suited for families seeking a broad, integrated understanding of their child’s learning, thinking, and emotional functioning. We help parents answer these common questions:
- Why a child is struggling academically despite effort
- Whether challenges are related to attention, learning, emotional regulation, or a combination
- How strengths and vulnerabilities interact
- What supports are most likely to help at school and at home
Educational Evaluations
An educational evaluation provides a focused look at a student’s academic skills in key areas such as reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics. These evaluations are designed to measure what a child has learned in school and how their skills compare to age or grade expectations. By concentrating on academic performance, an achievement assessment can highlight both areas of mastery and areas where additional support may be needed.
This type of evaluation is especially useful for monitoring progress, documenting current levels of achievement, and guiding targeted instruction or tutoring. The results can clarify whether a student is meeting curriculum standards, help determine eligibility for school-based services, and provide concrete recommendations for strengthening academic skills. Parents and educators walk away with a clear understanding of where the student stands academically and how best to support their ongoing growth.
Educational Consulting
Educational consulting offers families personalized guidance in understanding and supporting a child’s educational journey. These services may involve reviewing prior evaluations, IEPs, or school reports; discussing whether additional assessment may be helpful; or considering options for school placement, accommodations, or academic interventions. We can also collaborate with teachers, and assist in translating recommendations into practical strategies for the classroom.
