When You Need Clarity, Not Just a Report
Is it a phase, ADHD, a learning difference, or something else entirely? Most parents who reach out to us have been asking that question for a while. Our psychoeducational evaluations give you a clear, usable answer — and our social-emotional support helps your child build the skills to move forward once you have it.
Kristen Howell, our licensed school psychologist, spent nearly 20 years inside schools translating complex testing data into plans families could actually use. She brings that same clarity to private evaluations, without the months-long school or waitlist process — and because she works alongside our full care team, findings turn into next steps immediately, whether that's occupational therapy, academic modifications, or emotional support.
Comprehensive, private-pay testing for the questions keeping you up at night — designed around your child, not a generic battery.
ADHD Evaluation — a full picture of attention, focus, and executive functioning
Learning Differences Evaluation — dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other academic processing concerns
Giftedness Evaluation — for enrichment planning, school placement, or program qualification
Autism Evaluation (ADOS-2) — comprehensive assessment for autism spectrum concerns using the gold-standard diagnostic tool
Comprehensive Evaluation — combined testing when more than one concern is in play (most common for kids with overlapping attention, learning, and behavior questions)
Every evaluation includes an intake session, testing, and a feedback session where Kristen walks you through the results and what they mean in plain language — plus a written report you can bring to school, a doctor, or wherever it's needed.
Skills-Based Instruction
Structured, one-on-one (or small-group) instruction built on two evidence-informed frameworks — not generic talk-therapy, and not scripted skills drills. Kristen has hands-on training and implementation experience with both.
Executive Functioning (Cognitive Connections framework) — builds planning, organization, self-monitoring, and flexible thinking by making a child's thought process "visible" through structured supports and guided reflection
Social Thinking® — helps kids understand the why behind social behavior and build real metacognitive and social-cognitive skills, rather than rote scripts; includes Zones of Regulation for younger or more concrete learners
Individual sessions or small groups are both available depending on the skill focus and the child's needs.
