Several types of evaluations are offered. A full neuropsychological evaluation is not necessary for everyone; each evaluation is individually and personally tailored to your needs. Some portions of the evaluation are conducted remotely, but most standardized testing requires in-person visit.
Traditionally for neurological or medical concerns, such as concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), acquired brain injury, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, stroke, brain tumor/infection, ADHD. Includes comprehensive evaluation of cognitive (IQ), attention, executive, memory, language, non-verbal, motor, social, emotional, behavioral & adaptive functioning as well as assessment of academic achievement. Appropriate but not always necessary for academic or educational concerns in children.
Appropriate for academic concerns in previously diagnosed psychological, psychiatric or neurodevelopmental conditions or to determine giftedness. Includes comprehensive evaluation of cognitive (IQ) & academic achievement functioning. Social, emotional, & behavioral assessment as indicated. The evaluation can identify giftedness or diagnose learning disorders only; the scope does not permit diagnosis of other conditions (eg., ADHD).
Cognitive/developmental concerns of unknown cause or due to conditions such as prematurity, low birth weight, perinatal stroke, congenital/genetic. Ages 0-3 only.
Suited for diagnosis and/or identification of strengths/weaknesses in psychological, psychiatric, cognitive or neurodevelopmental conditions. May include ADHD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, school refusal, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, autism. Includes evaluation of cognitive, social, emotional & behavioral functioning. May include personality assessment. Does not include academic assessment.
Ideal for those who have participated in school-based evaluations, but require more comprehensive information and consideration of clinical diagnoses. Includes record review, interview, and brief standardized testing of domain of concern (attention, executive functions, anxiety/depression) as necessary for diagnosis. Does not include cognitive, academic, or extensive neuropsychological testing. Psychoeducational evaluation within the past year may require teacher rating scales.
I do not currently offer psychotherapy, cognitive rehabilitation or the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).
In some cases, you may not be certain what would be most helpful for you or your child. A consultation can help determine an appropriate clinical plan or provide a second opinion. Currently offered via telehealth.
Includes record review and clinical interviews with patient or parents and children. May result in diagnosis of a clinical condition, scheduling a comprehensive evaluation, or referral for intervention (e.g., psychotherapy, occupational or speech/language therapy).
Includes review of educational records and discussion with parents. May result in recommendations for additional educational services (e.g., 504 Plan, IEP), scheduling a comprehensive evaluation, or referrals.
May include consultation, record review, discussion, formal neuropsychological or psychological evaluation, deposition, fact witness or expert testimony. I have extensive IME experience with young children through adulthood. Please send a message to discuss.
