Welcome!
If you are considering an assessment for your child or yourself, you probably have some questions. Perhaps you’re wondering …
I know I have a high energy kid, but is its something more?
My child works so hard at school, but the results just don’t seem to reflect their effort. They’re so frustrated — how can I help?
I really try to pay attention, but I daydream and zone out in lectures and meetings. What can I do?
Is there an issue with motivation or ability … or both?
I study so hard, but I always run out of time taking tests.
How do I reconcile what the school is telling me with what I’m seeing at home?
My child is so bright, but complains about boredom in school. Should I consider options for gifted kids?
I want to understand their learning style so I can choose a school that’s an optimal match, request appropriate accommodations, or find the right outside support.
I know I have a great kid, and I want to understand their unique strengths and limitations so I can help them truly flourish.
We’re here to help answer your questions. We will listen carefully to your specific goals and tailor a customized set of cognitive, neuropsychological, educational, and diagnostic measures. After analyzing testing results and integrating them with a detailed history, we will provide you with thorough, science-based conclusions and actionable recommendations, giving you a roadmap for how to move forward and maximize success.
