Neuropsychological evaluations assess how the brain processes information across areas like attention, memory, executive functioning, language, and problem-solving. These comprehensive assessments are often recommended for children, teens, and adults experiencing difficulties with focus, organization, learning, or behavior. Results help guide diagnosis, treatment planning, school support, and workplace accommodations.
Evaluations
PSYCHOLOGICAL
Psychological evaluations offer in-depth insight into emotional, behavioral, and personality functioning. We use evidence-based tools to assess concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, identity development, and interpersonal difficulties. These assessments help clarify diagnoses, inform therapy, and support school or workplace accommodations.
ACADEMIC
Academic evaluations focus on a student's learning profile and identify specific strengths and challenges in reading, writing, math, and academic fluency. These assessments are often used to diagnose learning disabilities, clarify uneven academic performance, or support IEPs and testing accommodations.
Reasons for Being Evaluated
Learning and Attention Difficulties
- Symptoms of ADHD (ie. inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity)
- Processing speed and working memory issues
- Executive functioning concerns (ie. poor time management, difficulties with planning and organizing)
Emotional & Behavioral Concerns
Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, OCD)
Mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder)
Trauma-related difficulties and PTSD
Oppositional and conduct challenges
Emotional regulation concerns
Cognitive & Memory Issues
Dementia
Memory, attention, and language changes
Academic and workplace accommodations for cognitive concerns
Personality & Thought Patterns
Personality traits impacting relationships or functioning
Identity development and self-understanding
School & Academic Challenges
School refusal or avoidance
Uneven academic progress that does not reflect potential
Recommendations for IEPs, IESPs, and standardized testing accommodations
Neurodevelopmental Differences
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Developmental delays or uneven milestones
- Twice-exceptionality (gifted with co-occurring challenges)
- Difficulties with social understanding or perspective taking
ADHD Evaluations
ADHD affects self-regulation and executive functioning (ie. skills like attention, impulse control, and organization). But similar challenges can show up in other conditions like anxiety, learning disorders, or autism. That's why our evaluations go beyond symptom checklists. We assess cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning, and gather detailed developmental history to understand the full picture. This helps us determine whether ADHD and/or something else is driving the difficulties, and how best to support lasting progress
Autism Evaluations
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes a wide range of social, communication, and behavioral differences, which often present very differently from one person to another. Some individuals, especially girls and adults, may mask symptoms or not fit typical profiles. Our evaluations combine a detailed developmental history with cognitive, language, and executive function testing, along with gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2, to ensure a nuanced, accurate understanding. This helps clarify whether ASD is part of the picture and guides the best next steps.
