• Attention

• Executive Functions

• Academics (Reading, Writing, Mathematics)

• Sensorimotor Functioning

• Social Communication

• Problem-Solving

My goal is to provide insight into your child’s unique thinking and learning processes to develop tailored recommendations and supports that enhance their learning and well-being.

What does the evaluation include?

A neuropsychological evaluation includes: 

• Virtual Parent Interview (60 minutes)

• In-person testing: 6-8 hours (typically 2-3 appointments)

• Collaboration with teachers, tutors, and outside specialists

• Virtual Feedback Appointment (60-90 minutes)

• Written Report

• Follow-up consultation and collaboration with school, outside providers, etc.

Additional interviews, behavioral rating scales, classroom observations, and other services may also be incorporated as needed to support each individualized evaluation.

How long is the process?

A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation typically spans 4 to 6 weeks. The feedback appointment is usually scheduled approximately one week after the final testing session, with the finalized report completed within 2 to 3 weeks after testing concludes.
