Neuropsychological Assessments
Our neuropsychological assessments evaluate intellectual abilities, memory, executive functioning, and emotional development. These comprehensive evaluations help identify learning disabilities, autism spectrum traits, and behavioral patterns. We provide detailed reports with recommendations for educational accommodations and interventions.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
Psychoeducational evaluations measure cognitive potential and academic performance in reading, writing, and mathematics. These assessments help diagnose specific learning disorders like dyslexia and dyscalculia. We combine IQ testing with academic achievement measures to create targeted intervention plans.
Autism Spectrum Assessments
Our autism assessments use the ADOS-2 protocol combined with developmental history reviews and caregiver questionnaires. This comprehensive approach ensures accurate diagnosis across the lifespan. We provide detailed reports documenting social, communication, and behavioral patterns.
ADHD Testing
ADHD evaluations include focused assessments of attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. We use standardized measures combined with parent/teacher reports to determine diagnostic criteria. Our reports include evidence-based recommendations for classroom accommodations and treatment planning.
Learning Disability Diagnoses
Our learning disability assessments identify specific processing deficits affecting reading, writing, or math skills. We use specialized tests to diagnose dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Results guide development of individualized education plans and intervention strategies.
