Developmental Evaluations
For children up to six years old, developmental evaluations are offered to assess cognitive, motor, language, social-emotional, and adaptive skills. Evaluations may include assessment to rule-out/diagnose autism spectrum disorder and/or developmental delays.
Comprehensive Evaluations
For children ages six and older, comprehensive, individualized psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations are offered to provide diagnostic clarification and to assist with educational and treatment planning. Common referral concerns include:
- Learning difficulties
- Dyslexia
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- ADHD
- Anxiety
Evaluations are tailored to each individual child, and typically include measures of cognitive ability, academic achievement, social-emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning.
