Comprehensive Evaluations

Are you or your student struggling with learning, memory, processing, reading, math, writing, attention, organization, focus, and/or planning?

I offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental and psycho-educational evaluations for kids, teens, and college students with learning differences, giftedness, twice exceptionality, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, and/or low mood.

Comprehensive evaluations may include:

• A one-hour initial meeting or diagnostic interview

• An optional school observation

• Two sessions of 1:1 testing

• A parent feedback session

• A student feedback session

• An optional school consultation

• A comprehensive written report with practical, evidence-based recommendations for home and school

Testing is individualized for each student and may include assessment of:

• Cognitive abilities/IQ

• Neuropsychological skills

• Attention and executive functioning skills

• Academic achievement

• Foundational academic skills (orthographic, phonological, and morphological skills, number sense, grapho-motor skills, etc.)

• Handwriting and visual-motor integration

• Social/emotional development

Areas of specialty include:

• Learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia) — including assessment of foundational neurodevelopmental skills as needed (orthographic, phonological, and morphological skills; grapho-motor skills; number sense; etc.)

• Executive functioning, attention, memory, recall, and processing

• ADHD and executive functioning challenges

• Twice exceptionality

• Giftedness

• Anxiety and mood

• Documentation for standardized test accommodations and university accommodations

Evaluations are available in-person in Boulder, CO or via a combination of telehealth and in-person meetings in Seattle, WA.

Families often describe the process as insightful and empowering—a chance to better understand a student’s strengths and challenges while creating a thoughtful, strengths-based path forward.
