Narrative

We provide comprehensive neurodevelopmental and neuropsychological evaluations for young children (generally ages 2 to 8), who are already exhibiting some symptoms or behaviors that cause parents, pediatricians, day care facilities, or teachers, to seek testing and advice.

Our neuropsychological evaluations result in written reports that are useful for parents, pediatricians, teachers, early intervention service providers, and others in caregiving or professional roles.  We can complete assessments much more rapidly than most other service providers where children are placed on waiting lists that are typically months long—and sometimes up to a year.

We are able to assess children for the following conditions: 

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Developmental Delays
  • Intellectual Disability
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Dyslexia
  • ADHD
  • Anxiety and Mood Disorders
  • Effects of traumatic experiences, including PTSD
  • Others

Our evaluations result in client-centered, jargon-free reports that include specific and practical recommendations for parents, teachers, therapists, and other professionals involved in the lives of the children.
