I have over 20 years of experience providing psycho-educational assessments, have taught assessment in graduate courses and offered consultation to private schools regarding assessments. I am currently offering psycho-educational assessment for grades 4 through adults. To get started, please read below about my assessment process and then call me or fill out an inquiry on my contact form if you’d like to schedule an assessment.

Reasons for Assessment Referrals

  • you or your child is struggling with educational success and need clarity regarding the underlying issues

  • you or your child require a formal assessement and diagnosis to determine eligibility for accommodations (such as an IEP, 504 plan, or equivalent)

  • you may need the help of a third party professional because of long wait lists, a protracted process, or are in a private school setting

  • a psychoeducational assessment can offer clarify around issues such as Specific Learning Disorders in reading, mathematics, or writing (a.k.a. dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), ADHD - either inattentive or hyperactive/impulsive presentation, expressive/receptive language disorders, cognitive strengths or weaknesses, including intellectual/academic giftedness or intellectual disability, as well as related mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, or behavioral issues.

  • I do not currently offer assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Personality Disorders, legal or forensic issues, divorce or child custody.

Assessment Details

A comprehensive psychoeducational assessment includes:

  • a thorough assessment interview and intake process,

  • the administration of various types of tests and questionnaires, which may include:

    • comprehensive cognitive/intelligence testing,

    • academic achievement testing,

    • expressive/receptive language testing,

    • ADHD assessments, including performance and inventories

    • Executive function inventories,

    • Behavioral and emotional inventories

  • review of records and relevant consultation,

  • a comprehensive assessment report with test results, diagnosis, and recommendations,

  • a feedback session to discuss results.

Before our first meeting, I will have you complete an Assessment Intake Questionnaire for yourself or your child. We will then meet for an assessment interview and begin test administration. Depending on tests needed, test administration is genearlly conducted in one day or two half-days. Often, teacher and/or parent forms will need to be completed for particular inventories. After testing is complete, I will compile the results into a comprehensive assessment report and meet with you to review the results and make recommendations. I will assist you in finding any appropriate follow-up referrals.
