ASSESSMENT
Understanding Your Child, One Step at a Time
Every child learns, focuses, and grows a little differently — and sometimes it helps to understand exactly how. Whether you're noticing challenges with attention, learning, or school performance, our assessments are designed to give you clear answers and a path forward, delivered with warmth and care every step of the way.
ADHD Assessment
If your child is struggling to focus, sit still, follow through on tasks, or manage big emotions, you're not alone — and you don't have to guess what's going on.
Our ADHD assessments look at the whole picture: attention, behavior, cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, and how your child functions at home and school. We combine standardized testing, parent and teacher input, and time getting to know your child, so the results reflect who they really are — not just a checklist.
What you'll walk away with:
-
A clear, compassionate explanation of your child's strengths and challenges
-
A formal diagnosis (if appropriate) to support school accommodations or next steps
-
Practical, personalized recommendations for home and classroom
-
A safe space to ask every question on your mind
Psychoeducational Assessments
Learning differences can look like a lot of things — trouble reading, math anxiety, difficulty staying organized, or a child who seems bright but isn't showing it on paper. A psychoeducational assessment helps uncover why, so your child can get the right support instead of just working harder at the wrong thing.
We assess cognitive ability, academic skills, social-emotional functioning and more — building a complete picture of how your child learns best.
What you'll walk away with:
-
Insight into your child's unique learning profile
-
Identification of any learning disabilities (such as reading, writing and math)
-
Clear recommendations for school supports.
-
Strategies you can start using right away at home
Giftedness Assessments
Some children learn differently not because something is holding them back, but because they're moving ahead — asking big questions, grasping concepts quickly, or feeling bored and restless in a classroom that isn't quite challenging enough. Giftedness can be just as misunderstood as a learning difficulty, and just as important to identify.
A giftedness assessment helps you understand your child's cognitive strengths in depth — not just "how smart," but how they think, where their abilities are strongest, and what kind of environment will help them thrive. It can also help explain seemingly conflicting behaviors, like a child who is intellectually advanced but struggles with friendships, perfectionism, or emotional intensity.
What you'll walk away with:
-
A thorough picture of your child's cognitive strengths and abilities
-
Eligibility documentation for gifted programs or advanced placement
-
Guidance on twice-exceptional (2e) profiles, when giftedness overlaps with ADHD or a learning difference
-
Recommendations for keeping your child engaged, challenged, and emotionally supported

Here's how we make it feel manageable:
1. Initial Consultation — We start with a conversation to understand your concerns and goals.
2. Testing Sessions — Conducted in a comfortable, low-pressure environment, paced to your child's needs.
3. Feedback Session — We sit down with you to explain the results in plain language, not jargon.
4. Written Report — A comprehensive report you can share with schools, pediatricians, or other providers.
5. Ongoing Support — We're here after the assessment, too — to help you navigate next steps.
