Services
Gifted Testing
Our gifted testing evaluates intellectual ability using standardized IQ assessments to determine eligibility for accelerated academic programs. We assess cognitive potential through age-appropriate measures, providing same-day results and teacher consultations to ensure accurate interpretation of a child's capabilities.
Learning Disability Assessment
Comprehensive evaluations identify specific learning disabilities through academic achievement testing and cognitive processing assessments. We analyze reading, writing, and math abilities alongside memory, attention, and processing skills to create targeted intervention strategies for classroom success.
ADHD Evaluation
Our ADHD assessments combine behavioral observations, teacher interviews, and neuropsychological testing to diagnose attention disorders. We use continuous performance tests and cognitive evaluations to differentiate ADHD from other learning challenges and develop effective accommodation plans.
Test Accommodations
We conduct comprehensive evaluations required for standardized test accommodations on college entrance exams and graduate-level tests. Our assessments document eligibility for extended time, special testing environments, and other necessary modifications based on documented learning needs.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
Full psychoeducational evaluations examine intellectual ability, academic performance, and cognitive processing patterns. We tailor assessments to each child's needs, combining IQ testing with social-emotional evaluations to create complete learning profiles that guide educational planning.
