Evaluation

Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessments

A psychoeducational evaluation offers a detailed look at how someone learns, thinks, feels, and functions in academic or everyday settings. These assessments help uncover learning differences, mental health needs, and areas of strength, forming the foundation for meaningful support strategies at school, at home, and in life.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to assess and better understand:

  • Learning disabilities
  • ADHD and attention challenges
  • Autism spectrum
  • Intellectual and cognitive functioning
  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
  • Learning styles, processing issues, and executive functioning
  • Special education eligibility, IEP development, 504 eligibility

A Comprehensive Approach: The RIOT Model

Accurate and effective assessments go far beyond test scores. A variety of modalities must be used to develop a complete picture. Steps include:

R — Record Review

School records, prior evaluations, medical or psychological histories, and work samples.

I — Interview

Conversations with parents, teachers, service providers, and the client to understand concerns, strengths, and overall functioning.

O — Observation

In-school and testing observations to assess behavior, attention, processing, and emotional state.

T — Testing

1:1 standardized testing focused on cognition, academic skills, memory, attention, fine motor skills, social-emotional functioning, behavior, and more.

The final report integrates all this information to provide a clear picture and an actionable roadmap for success.

Guidance

Educational Consulting

Sometimes what's needed isn't just information — but support navigating the educational system. I offer consultations to help families better understand their child's needs and how to address them in the school setting or through outside services.

With a strong foundation as both a licensed therapist and an educational psychologist, I bring a holistic view of mental health, learning, and school systems that empowers families to make informed decisions.
