Neurodivergence

Neurodiversity

Ages 5+

If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

~Attributed to Albert Einstein

Meet our Neurodiversity Assessment Team

Collaborative therapeutic assessment is a brief, intensive process to identify emotional, learning, and/or attentional conditions. Psychological assessment provides a clear, data-driven picture of what may contribute to your child’s difficulties. Feedback from your clinician and a final report provides clear guidance to help your child thrive at home and school. 

Our team provides assessment for:

  • ADHD 
  • Autism Spectrum
  • Giftedness
  • Learning Differences

We collaborate closely with parents, referring providers, and school personnel to understand your child and provide valuable recommendations.
