Child and Adolescent Psychoeducational Testing and Psychodiagnostic Evaluations
Psycho-educational testing and psycho-diagnostic evaluations entail a comprehensive look at a child or adolescent's academic performance, socio-emotional functioning, and any underlying cognitive processes that impact how he or she learns. An evaluation can provide you with clarity and a deeper understanding of what your child needs to succeed. An assessment will help you understand your child's learning profile, including brain processes such as attention, executive functions, problem solving abilities, visuospatial skills, learning and memory to name a few. Testing can help establish diagnostic clarity, such as whether the child is gifted, twice exceptional, has autism, ADHD, and/or a learning disability, or is impacted by anxiety, etc. Most importantly, the assessment provides an individualized road map for optimizing your child’s learning and mental health. It provides individualized recommendations and referrals based on your child’s strengths and needs to guide decision making with regard to school placement (including any necessary supports and services) as well as therapeutic needs. Assessments are funded privately or through independent education evaluations (IEEs) by local school districts.

Preschool & Childcare Consultation
Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC)
IECMHC consists of weekly, monthly, or quarterly consultation with early childcare education programs and providers that take place in the preschool or childcare setting. Consultation may consist of participation in daily classroom routines, modeling intervention approaches, sharing useful strategies, facilitating referrals, and/or providing trainings for providers and/or parents.
These activities are provided with the goal of helping early childhood educators, program leaders, and related professionals strengthen their knowledge about factors that influence social-emotional development and optimize early childhood development with individualized support to providers, children, and families.
