Is your child struggling?

Intake
I seek to understand the reason for the assessment referral. Information such as developmental history, reviewing any previous assessments, and understanding historical and current school performance is important. This information will guide the specific neurocognitive, academic, and processing areas (ex: attention, auditory, visual) to assess.
Assessment
The assessment often consists of an IQ assessment, a broad academic assessment, additional academic/neuropsychological assessments in the area of referral concern, cognitive processing assessments, and a social-emotional assessment (ex: anxiety, depression, adaptive skills). Information is typically gathered from parents, the child, and teachers to comprehensively understand your child's functioning.
After the Assessment
Once the assessment is complete, several hours are spent scoring the assessments, interpreting the results and synthesizing the information to be shared in an informative and reader-friendly report. From the assessment report, parents will be able to understand how to help their child better at home and in the community. Recommendations will be made for school support (ex: IEP or Section 504 Plan, if appropriate). The section of the recommendations in the report is called the Action Plan
