Evaluations

We provide evaluations for learning disorders, attention and executive functioning deficits, autism spectrum disorder, psychological disorders, and other conditions.  Some situations that may indicate the need for an evaluation include:

• If a child or adolescent is having a difficult time with reading, mathematics, written expression or other aspects of school work, an evaluation for a Specific Learning Disorder may be appropriate.
• If an individual is having difficulty managing anxiety, depression, and other emotional pressures, especially if it is related to school or homework, an evaluation can help distinguish between emotional disorders and a Specific Learning Disorder.
• Attention and executive functioning deficits may often be confused with anxiety or depressive disorders and an evaluation can help to effectively diagnose the correct disorder and treatment. 
• If a child struggles  with social communication and social interaction, parents may want an evaluation to distinguish between a number of disorders including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder and ADHD, among other disorders. 

Once a diagnosis is made, treatment recommendations and school accommodations are provided in a detailed written report and explained to parents (if a child or adolescent was evaluated) or to the college student or adult that was evaluated.
