All evaluations are personalized based on referral concerns and each student’s unique needs. The ultimate goal is to develop a highly individualized profile of your child’s strengths and weaknesses in order to provide parents, teachers, and other professionals with a meaningful plan for intervention that will best support your child’s learning and development going forward. This is accomplished through obtaining a detailed developmental history, parent and teacher reports and questionnaires, and one-on-one testing. Upon the completion of the assessment, you will receive an extensive report that documents the test results, outlines your child’s assets and challenges, and specifies the recommendations, strategies, and resources that will best support your child’s development.
