About My Clients
I specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disabilities, Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia), and an array of anxiety and mood disorders.
My Background and Approach
A targeted assessment answers specific questions. For example: Does my child have dyslexia? Does my child meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD? Is my child on the autism spectrum? Due to my child’s anxiety, will he or she benefit from accommodations through Section 504 of Americans with Disabilities Act? Does my child require testing accommodations on the SAT or other high-stakes exam? A targeted evaluation will draw from relevant data that may include direct assessment, observation, interviews, rating scales, and review of prior records. An evaluation report will be provided outlining results and recommendations. The assessment will be reviewed with the family during a parent consultation.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I focus on identifying solutions through: Comprehensive assessment of strengths and challenges Accurate identification of disabilities and barriers Meaningful recommendations to scaffold success Knowledgeable advocacy to promote action
