We Provide 4 Main Areas of Service:
Assessment
With our comprehensive assessments, we gather information from parents, teachers, and school records and conduct individual testing in areas such as cognitive abilities, memory, attention, academic skills, and emotional/behavioral functioning. Through combining all of this information, we are able to make tailored recommendations based upon the profile of strengths and weaknesses. Such evaluations can also help gain accommodations such as extended time of tests as provided by CBSE.
Therapy
When emotional, behavioral or social problems are interfering with an individual’s general or educational functioning, we provide practical, effective therapy to help improve these areas.
Consultation
If you are unsure of whether an assessment or therapy would be most helpful, or just know that you need to sit and talk with an experienced professional to get support and direction, consultation might be the best fit for you.
Advocacy
Sometimes you might need assistance with interfacing with school staff to ensure that you or your child, teen, or college student are able to gain access to the appropriate accommodations and services. We have the needed training and background to help schools recognize these needs and offer the suitable interventions.
