Services
Individual Assessments
A psycho-educational assessment identifies a client's barriers to school success, both academically and social-emotionally. It explains a client's learning profile, including learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses as well as any social-emotional or behavioral concerns impeding school success. The assessment drives recommendations for school and home success. Any learning, behavioral, or mental health disorders are identified, including:
*Specific Learning Disability
*ADHD
*Behavioral Disorders
*Social-Emotional, including Depression and Anxiety
*Autism Spectrum Disorder
The assessment process includes a parent intake meeting, a review of the student's school records and history, a school observation of the student (if deemed appropriate), individual assessment sessions with the student, a comprehensive assessment report, and a final feedback session to present the report, findings, and recommendations.
Additional assessments include:
*Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)
