When assessment is indicated I select measures that are appropriate for a child’s age, developmental stage, and the specific questions being explored. The process may include interviews with parents, caregivers, teachers, and the child; standardized questionnaires; review of relevant records; and the use of carefully selected assessment tools. Whether a family is seeking diagnostic clarification, guidance regarding learning, attention, emotional, or behavioral concerns, recommendations for school supports, or a re-evaluation to determine  continued eligibility for services and accommodations, my goal is to provide a thoughtful and comprehensive understanding of the child's unique profile. My approach is neurodiversity affirming, recognizing that assessment is not about identifying what's "wrong", but about understanding strengths, challenges, and individual differences in order to guide meaningful support and intervention. Families are not always certain whether formal testing is needed, and I am happy to provide consultation to help determine the most appropriate steps. I am also available to provide second opinions on prior diagnoses or treatment planning.
