Does your child experience difficulties with focus, organization, or managing daily responsibilities? An ADHD evaluation can help us understand how your child’s brain works and whether these differences are affecting their learning or daily life. Evaluations can be focused or more in-depth, depending on whether there are also questions about learning, autism, or emotional well-being. My evaluations highlight your child’s strengths while also identifying areas where support may be helpful. I provide practical recommendations for school accommodations and strategies at home.

If you disagree with a school’s evaluation or simply want a second opinion, I provide Independent Educational Evaluations that are comprehensive, objective, and child-centered. My IEEs help parents and schools develop appropriate, evidence-based plans for support.

Every child communicates, connects, and learns in their own way. My autism evaluations explore social interaction, communication, and behavior to understand whether autism may fit for your child. Evaluations can be focused or more in-depth, depending on whether there are also questions about learning, ADHD, or emotional well-being. With this knowledge, I can connect you with the right supports, therapies, and educational planning.

I also take a PDA-affirming approach, recognizing that a child’s need for autonomy and control often comes from anxiety and nervous system differences—not defiance. My evaluations consider these patterns with compassion, helping families and schools understand a child’s unique profile and supporting strategies that reduce stress, honor autonomy, and build trust.

When a child is struggling in school despite effort, there may be underlying learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or processing challenges. My evaluations pinpoint these differences and guide personalized educational planning so your child can feel confident and capable in the classroom.

Children and adolescents can experience deep worries, sadness, or emotional overwhelm that impact daily life. My evaluations provide a compassionate and thorough understanding of a child’s mental health needs and create a roadmap for therapy, school support, or additional resources.

Giftedness doesn’t always look the same from child to child. This gifted evaluation identifies advanced abilities and provide documentation for gifted program placement, ensuring students are challenged and supported in ways that match their strengths.
