Here's what you can expect:

  • Clinical Interview

    We gather detailed background information from parents or caregivers to understand the context of the challenges.

  • Neuropsychological Testing

    We use standardized tests to assess various cognitive domains such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving skills.

  • Assessment of Psychological Functioning

    We also screen for co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other psychiatric concerns including OCD, or disruptive behavior disorders (e.g., ODD, Conduct Disorder of Adolescence).

  • Collateral Information

    We typically have other providers or school officials complete ratings of psychological and behavioral status to understand your child's functioning in multiple contexts. We also review any available medical, psychological, and educational records.

  • Feedback Session

    We discuss the findings with parents and provide recommendations for interventions, accommodations, and support.
