Neuropsychological Assessment
The assessment provides estimates of the patient’s intellectual or cognitive abilities as well as educational achievement levels. This will be used by our psychologist to provide relevant recommendations for educational planning.
To gather data on this assessment, the psychologist will use the following:
- Background information
- Educational history
- Records and data from intelligence, educational, and achievement tests
- Attention
- Behavior/emotions
- Adaptive behaviors
Assessment and LEP Information
Psychological testing or psychoeducational assessment is instrumental in youth therapy. This tool provides an understanding of the reasons and causes of a child or adolescent's emotional, psychological, learning, or behavioral problems.
This involves standardized tasks or procedures which allow sampling of the patient’s behavior. As a result, the psychologist can understand and predict the child’s psychological, emotional, and behavioral functioning in various settings.
Educational & Neuro Psychology
IEE Assessments
If you, as a parent of a child with a disability, do not agree with the results of the individualized evaluation of your child, as conducted by the school system, you have the right to obtain what is known as an Independent Educational Evaluation, or an IEE (§300.502). This means that you may ask that a professional, competent evaluator who is not employed by the school system conduct another evaluation of your child.
Student (Parent) IEP Advocacy
In public schools with IEP's or in private schools. When parents need someone to help them though the IEP process.
Expert Witness and Testimony
A Psychology Expert Witness is a qualified Psychologist who has become an Expert in their field by undertaking specialist training, additional study or gained extensive experience within a particular area. Expert witnesses can also testify about an individual (defendant or plaintiff) they evaluated and opine on the person’s cognitive, behavior, emotional, and mental health status.

Autism assessments for ABA Therapy
Before your child can begin ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy, you must obtain an official autism diagnosis. I offer thorough autism screening, autism testing, and autism diagnosis services. If you suspect your child is displaying autism symptoms, those of a developmental disability, or even a lack of verbal or social interaction skills, our autism center can help. If you’ve been researching getting an autism diagnosis, you’ve probably found it can take months or even years to get an official test and diagnosis of autism.
