Comprehensive Evaluation
Are you or your child struggling with cognitive, behavioral, or executive functioning skills, or do you want to better understand how your, or your child’s brain works?
With a Comprehensive Evaluation we can get to the root of the issues that are standing in the way, so that your family may be able to address areas of struggle and move towards optimizing your lives for success.
This service includes intake, testing, scoring, interpretation, a feedback session to discuss results, and a written report. Read more about what Comprehensive Evaluation entails.
Giftedness Evaluation (School Placement Evaluation)
Giftedness Evaluation can help you determine if the signs you have been noticing in your child may in fact be indicative of intellectual gift. Gaining more insight to the way your child’s brain works can help determine if they are learning at a level that is engaging to them, and it will put you in the driver's seat of advocating for your child’s learning opportunities.
This service typically takes 3 hours and entails an evaluation of cognitive abilities and a brief write up of results.

My child said they wanted to come back for another assessment right after we left because they had a good time. The feedback report was very detailed and the accommodation recommendations were extensive. My child’s teacher and the speech therapist at their school were thrilled. This made it so easy to discuss accommodations and come up with a formal school plan. It has also provided a lot of direction on how to support my child at home. I am incredibly thankful for this service.
