Psychological evaluations and testing

Our ADHD evaluation covers a wide range of areas, including executive functioning, working memory, academic performance, behavior, and screening for social/emotional issues. Whether it's children struggling with sustained attention or self-restraint, or adults facing challenges with organization and distractibility, our evaluations provide valuable insights. We also screen for adult ADHD. Often times, children are able to compensate for their ADHD, leaving it unrecognized until they grow up and face large-scale challenges such as graduate school or the pressure of balancing a career and family. Typically, adult ADHD manifests itself differently from ADHD in children. Some indicators of adult ADHD include struggling to be organized, restlessness, distractibility and poor listening skills. 

Our comprehensive autism evaluations involve a thorough exploration of social communication skills, language abilities, adherence to routines, and emotional/behavioral issues. Through observations, assessments, and interviews, we gain a holistic understanding of the individual's strengths and challenges. Our supportive approach ensures a comfortable testing environment. The results guide us in providing personalized recommendations for intervention and support, helping individuals on the autism spectrum and their families thrive and reach their full potential.

Our neuropsychological evaluations focus on assessing cognitive functioning, examining how efficiently individuals process information and memory. We go beyond test performance, aiming to identify memory issues, cognitive processing challenges, and related problems like ADHD. By utilizing comprehensive tests, we gain valuable insights into each individual's cognitive strengths and challenges. Our goal is to provide personalized recommendations and interventions to help clients optimize their cognitive abilities and overall well-being.

Our testing for learning disabilities is thorough and personalized. We assess cognitive abilities, memory, achievement, and various neuropsychological processing areas. By comparing these results with age-appropriate norms, we identify specific learning difficulties and tailor interventions accordingly. Learning disabilities involve a significant discrepancy between cognitive abilities and academic achievement. Our goal is to empower individuals with targeted support, accommodations, and strategies to thrive academically and reach their full potential.

Our comprehensive evaluations for children and teens with disruptive behaviors focus on emotional/behavioral issues. We examine past conduct records, emotional functioning, and conduct interviews with relevant adults in the child's life. These assessments target problem and adaptive behaviors to identify maladaptive social or emotional issues, difficulties in forming healthy relationships, and challenges in learning. By understanding the root causes of disruptive behaviors, we create personalized intervention plans to support the child's well-being and overall development.
