Neuropsychological Evaluations
Our neuropsychological evaluations comprehensively assess cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning through standardized testing. This service identifies strengths and challenges related to memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning. Ideal for individuals seeking clarity on learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, or developmental disorders.
ADHD Assessments
Specialized ADHD evaluations use advanced measures to diagnose attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children and adults. We assess sustained, selective, and alternating attention processes to develop targeted intervention strategies. This service addresses workplace, academic, and daily life challenges associated with ADHD symptoms.
Dyslexia Testing
Our dyslexia assessments combine phonemic awareness, processing speed, and academic skill testing to identify specific learning disabilities. We evaluate visual tracking, word retrieval, and comprehension difficulties to create personalized educational plans for children and adults.
Autism Spectrum Evaluations
Comprehensive autism assessments use cutting-edge tools to evaluate social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing differences. Our gender-sensitive approach ensures accurate diagnoses for boys, girls, men, and women across the lifespan with tailored support recommendations.
Trauma Assessments
Trauma-based evaluations identify PTSD symptoms resulting from abuse, neglect, or significant life events. We employ culturally sensitive techniques to assess emotional regulation, memory processing, and stress responses, providing pathways for therapeutic intervention and recovery.
