Comprehensive Psychological & Psychoeducational Assessments for Children and Teens

ADHD | Autism | Learning Disabilities | Anxiety | Diagnostic Clarification

If you’re here, you’re probably wondering:

Is this ADHD? Autism? Anxiety? A learning issue? Something else?

Or maybe your child is bright but struggling in school. Maybe teachers are raising concerns. Maybe you just feel that something isn’t clicking and you want clarity.

A comprehensive psychological assessment can provide real answers.

An assessment is a structured, in-depth evaluation that helps us understand how your child thinks, learns, focuses, processes emotions, and functions day to day.

It’s not just a test. It’s a full picture.

We look at:

  • Cognitive abilities (how your child learns and reasons)

  • Attention and executive functioning

  • Academic skills (reading, writing, math)

  • Memory and processing speed

  • Social and emotional functioning

  • Behavior patterns

  • Autism-related traits (if relevant)

  • Anxiety, OCD, or mood symptoms (when needed)

The goal is clarity, not labels for the sake of labels. We want to understand what’s happening and what will actually help.

What is a Psychological or Psychoeducational Assessment?

What Does the Process Look Like?

  • 01

    Parent Intake (60–90 minutes)

    A detailed developmental and clinical interview covering strengths, concerns, school history, behavior, and family context.

  • 02

    Classroom Observation:

    We conduct a structured classroom observation to see how your child functions in a real academic setting.

    This allows us to evaluate:, Attention and task initiation, impulse control, peer interactions, response to teacher instruction, work completion and stamina.

    Observing your child in context often provides essential information that testing alone cannot capture.

  • 03

    Testing Sessions

    Your child meets with us for structured testing, usually split into 4-6 sessions so it’s not overwhelming.

    The environment is calm, supportive, and paced appropriately. Most kids actually enjoy parts of the process.

  • 04

    Teacher and Parent Input

    We often collect rating scales or input from both school and parents to understand how your child functions in different settings.

  • 05

    Scoring, Analysis & Diagnostic Integration

    This is where the real clinical work happens. Every measure is carefully scored, cross-checked, and interpreted within the context of your child’s developmental history, behavior patterns, classroom functioning, and emotional profile.

    The goal of this phase is not just to answer “What is it?”

    It’s to answer: Why is this happening?How does it show up in real life? What will actually help?

  • 06

    Feedback Session (60–90 minutes)

    You’ll receive:

    Clear findings

    Diagnoses (if applicable)

    A breakdown of strengths and challenges

    Specific school accommodations

    Practical home and therapy recommendations

  • 07

    Comprehensive Written Report

    You receive a detailed report you can share with schools, providers, or keep for your records.

Common Questions Parents Ask

  • We structure testing in a supportive, strengths-based way. Breaks are built in, including time to play and eat a snack. Many children feel proud of completing it.

  • That’s not a problem. We are looking for patterns, not perfection. Struggles during testing often provide useful clinical information.

  • Yes. Our reports are designed to support IEPs, 504 plans, and school-based accommodations.

  • We are out-of-network and provide superbills for reimbursement. Many families use their out-of-network benefits and receive partial reimbursement, depending on their plan. We’re happy to help you understand what to ask your insurance provider.

  • We can discuss your concerns first and determine whether testing is appropriate or if therapy support might be the better starting point.

Why Comprehensive Assessment Matters?

When concerns go unexplained, families often try interventions that only partially help.

When we understand the full picture:

  • Interventions become targeted

  • School supports become appropriate

  • Therapy becomes more effective

  • Parents feel more confident

  • Kids feel understood rather than “difficult” or “lazy”

Clarity reduces guesswork.
