Clear answers for families and schools

We go beyond scores to explain the full cognitive, psychological, and functional picture, in a report that families can understand and schools can use.

What to expect

1. Initial conversation. We talk through the question you need answered, whether the evaluation is a good fit, and what records will help.
2. Interview and records review. We gather history from you and, with your permission, from family, providers, schools, or attorneys, and review relevant medical, educational, or legal records.
3. Testing. You complete standardized tests of thinking skills, mood, and behavior. Testing is paced with breaks to get an accurate picture of your best performance.
4. Feedback and report. We meet to explain the results in plain language and provide a written report with a clear diagnosis and specific, practical recommendations.
