Children may require targeted services to improve learning and behavior

A comprehensive evaluation can provide specific information about your child's needs when...
  • your child has received appropriately matched instruction in the regular classroom but they still struggle to learn.
  • your child's teacher uses positive behavior support but they still struggle with behavior issues such as distractibility, impulse control, and difficulty with appropriate socialization.
  • your child exhibits sadness, excessive worry, and behaviors such as isolation, avoidance, or irritability.
  • your family has difficulty managing your child's learning, behavioral, and emotional issues and you need help to develop the interventions that will make your child successful.

We will assess...

INTELLECTUAL FUNCTIONING

We will administer a test of intelligence to evaluate your child's cognitive ability.

When evaluating English learners, we will administer a language dominance test to identify whether your child can be evaluated in English or needs to be evaluated in their native language to ensure that results are valid.

COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS

We will administer tests of language, attention, memory, spatial functioning, executive functions, processing speed, and motor functioning as needed.

We will find your child's strengths and weaknesses to determine their impact on academic and behavioral functioning.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

We will administer academic tests on all areas of of reading, math, and writing. 

Testing is comprehensive. For instance, for reading we may evaluate phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension. 

Our assessments get to the root of the problem so we can develop interventions for targeted, explicit instructional support.

EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOR

Our comprehensive assessments include clinical observations and patterns of behavioral and emotional functioning.

We will review your child's records and background history.

We will send rating scales to parents and teachers to obtain information about observed behavior in the school and home environments.

Help your child succeed

Children need to do well academically, behaviorally, and emotionally in order to succeed in life.

It is important to assess your child's progress and identify any skill deficits that interfere with their functioning.

Our comprehensive assessments can get to the root of the problem and identify deficits so that the most appropriate interventions can be implemented to help them succeed.

Our thorough reports include findings and specific information needed for academic, behavioral, and emotional support.

Your child can get the best opportunities for success!
