The evaluation process begins with an initial consultation between the psychologist and the parents or young adult being evaluated. During this one hour meeting, we discuss background information, review medical and educational records, and explore presenting concerns. Parents and teachers will be asked to complete questionnaires detailing everyday functioning. We will use this information to discuss initial impressions and suggest a plan for evaluation.

A pediatric neuropsychological evaluation includes an assessment of the major areas of functioning including intellectual development, attention, executive functioning, learning & memory, motor skills, visual perception, language development, and social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. The areas assessed are customized based on an evaluation plan jointly designed by you and the psychologist. We also perform an in-depth assessment of academic skills during the evaluation when needed. 

A feedback appointment is scheduled approximately about three weeks after testing to explain the results in clear and thorough terms. It is a priority that parents leave the feedback session with a solid understanding of why their child is experiencing problems, the child's strengths, and a plan for moving forward with treatment. We provide a comprehensive written report detailing the findings, diagnosis, and recommendations shortly after the feedback appointment. We pride ourselves on easy-to-read reports that use clear language and avoid jargon. This report can be shared with school and medical providers to coordinate care. Reports are designed to be useful for schools in their educational planning process and draw from our deep experience working in and consulting to schools. We work with teens and young adults who require standardized testing accommodations for the SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, and GRE.
