This assessment is the best fit if you would like a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between your child brain and behavior and have concerns about things such as specific learning differences, slow information processing, memory/retention of new information, language or visual, processingdifferences, ADHD and other executive dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and other mood or behavior challenges.

Parenting Support Sessions
Sessions to assist with parent education and support around understanding your children and yourselves as you learn about purposeful communication and positive ways to set boundaries and expectations. We will strive to help you to feel empowered to restore the family dynamic to one with less conflict and more positive time together.
Classroom Observations
This service is utilized when a family feels that their child would benefit from an in-person observation of their learning, behavior, and/or peer relationships at school to help direct a treatment plan and includes an intake meeting, parent and teacher screening questionnaires, communications with the school, a 60 minute observation, report summary with treatment recommendations (if applicable), and a 30 minute zoom feedback session.
Most assessments listed above can be conducted with feedback and questionnaires from teachers or a counselor that knows your child well, in combination with a thorough review of any prior test reports and other information gathered from you, their therapists or other treatment professionals (if applicable), and school staff. However, if an in person classroom observation is requested as part of an assessment, it can be completed for an additional charge.
(Please note that a recorded observation for us to review is included in the assessment prices above and that every effort will be made to do an in-person observation for developmental assessments. This is not always possible because of scheduling but we will try our best to make it happen.)
