Using a variety of tools tailored to my client’s background and areas of concern, I complete assessments to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses present among academic, cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral skills. Each of my assessments include diagnostic impressions (if applicable) and recommendations for evidence-based interventions specific to the assessment results to help my clients grow and succeed. Below is a description of the assessments I offer in my practice:
Psychoeducational Assessments:
Comprehensive evaluations designed to identify the presence of giftedness, learning disabilities including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, ADHD and executive functioning deficits, symptoms and challenges associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and social/emotional challenges associated with Mental Health.
Functional Behavioral Assessments:
Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) are comprehensive evaluations designed to identify the underlying causes of challenging behavior. Utilizing direct and indirect methods of data collection; the goal is to determine the function of challenging behaviors in order to make recommendations for function-based interventions to support positive behavioral change.
Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE):
IEEs may include both Psychoeducational Evaluations and Functional Behavioral Assessments. Currently, I am conducting a limited number of IEEs, depending on the school district and timing of the contract. Please contact me to discuss your needs in more detail!
