ADHD Evaluation
Our ADHD evaluations use standardized assessments to identify attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adults. We analyze behavioral patterns, cognitive functioning, and daily life impacts through parent/teacher observations and clinical interviews. Reports include diagnosis confirmation, subtype identification, and tailored intervention recommendations for educational, occupational, and personal success.
Gifted Evaluation
We conduct WISC-V and WPPSI-IV assessments to determine gifted program eligibility for ages 4+. Our evaluations measure cognitive abilities against national norms, providing detailed reports accepted by Palm Beach County schools. The process includes immediate scoring, parent consultation, and guidance for school placement decisions while maintaining ethical testing standards.
Autism Assessment
Our autism spectrum disorder evaluations combine developmental history, behavioral observations, and standardized rating scales. For children as young as 18 months, we identify social communication challenges, repetitive behaviors, and sensory sensitivities. Reports support IEP development, insurance-covered interventions, and eligibility for specialized education programs and Florida scholarships.
Learning Disability Testing
We identify specific learning disabilities through comprehensive psychoeducational batteries measuring intelligence, academic skills, and cognitive processing. Our assessments pinpoint reading, writing, and math challenges while differentiating from ADHD. Results guide educational accommodations, 504 plans, and interventions tailored to individual learning profiles with detailed documentation for school systems.
Test Accommodations
We evaluate eligibility for standardized test accommodations under ADA guidelines. Our assessments document functional limitations from ADHD, learning disabilities, or mental health conditions. We provide comprehensive reports for SAT/ACT/GRE accommodations requests, including extended time or specialized testing environments, following Association on Higher Education and Disability protocols.
