Assessment Services

Neuropsychological assessment helps to identify strengths and challenges in learning and thinking and their relationship to behavior and emotions. Results lead to a roadmap for appropriate supports and recommendations. The evaluation includes comprehensive assessment of many aspects of brain functioning, including:

• Language

• Memory

• Attention/executive functioning

• Nonverbal Reasoning

• Social cognition

• Personality/Emotional Functioning 

• Visual spatial and motor skills 

Assessment includes intake interview with parent, standardized assessment measures completed with child/teen, record review, rating scales completed by parent and teacher, and feedback with caregivers.

Assessment of academic skills may cover some or all the following areas: early reading/literacy skills, reading (decoding, comprehension, fluency), math problem solving and computation, and written language.

Academic testing helps to understand whether a child/teen may have a learning disability or other condition that is impacting academic performance and informs how child/teen is performing relative to grade level.

Performance on academic assessments are incorporated into the evaluation to gain a full understanding of how a child's neuropsychological functioning is impacting academic skills.

​Additional support and recommendations for family and youth are available beyond assessment process and feedback (including additional feedback to child or caregiver).

Consultation may involve review of any school or outside evaluations, support to advocate with school/agencies, or general brainstorming needs/supports for child/teen.

School visits are also available as  part of a comprehensive evaluation or independently, for more information about school functioning and environment.
