Parents... What we do
Why consider a neuropsychological, psychological, or psycho-educational assessment for your child?
Some parents face very important questions about their children, including:
- Does my son need an ADHD evaluation or do they have an attention disorder?
- Why is my child so disruptive in class? Could it be related to executive functioning challenges that require attention and executive functioning testing?
- Are my daughter’s worries and negative self-statements typical for someone her age or are they signs of anxiety?
- Does my son have dyslexia? If so, what subtype of dyslexia or reading disorder does he have? Would he benefit from a dyslexia evaluation?
- Does my child have dysgraphia or another writing disorder that could be identified through a dysgraphia evaluation?
- Is my teenager struggling with depression or is their behavior typical for an adolescent?
- Should my child be in an advanced learning program?
- Does my college student need an evaluation for 504 accommodations?
- Could my preschooler be struggling with developmental delays?
- Does my child’s struggle with numbers suggest dyscalculia (math disorder)?
There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding.
Neuropsychological evaluations, psychological evaluations, and psycho-educational evaluations (sometimes called testing or assessments) are used to answer the questions above and other queries about a child’s or adolescent’s development and needs. Learning disorder evaluations and ADHD testing are often sought when a child is thought to need an adjustment to their educational program, such as 504 accommodations or an IEP.
As a Washington state licensed psychologist based in West Seattle and serving families across Seattle, and the Greater Puget Sound area, I specialize in these kinds of evaluations. My practice provides comprehensive child and adolescent
assessments, including ADHD evaluations, dyslexia testing, dysgraphia assessments, and attention and executive functioning testing.
With each evaluation, I set out to obtain a full and thorough picture of your child’s unique profile of strengths and challenges. My measures can help determine whether a child has a learning disorder (reading disorder, writing disorder, math disorder), a differential learning style, ADHD, or other conditions such as anxiety or depression.
I provide families with information that will help their children, teens, and college students capitalize on their strengths, receive support for their challenges, and be the best individuals they can be.
