Evaluation

​​Education Evaluation

In-depth assessment of a student’s skills in reading, written language and math to determine the following:

  • How the student’s academic functioning compares to other students in the same grade or of the same age
  • What factors are contributing to the student’s academic problems
  • What specific educational interventions are needed to help the student learn
  • Includes testing, interpretation of scores and a detailed report which contains recommendations for school programming

Cognitive Evaluation

In-depth assessment of cognitive functioning including verbal and nonverbal intelligence and memory and/or executive function measures (if needed)

Covid-19 Evaluation Services

  • Parent Intake Interviews and Feedbacks will be conducted by phone or Zoom.
  • Pre and post-evaluation cleaning and disinfecting of office space.
  • Use of a 28″ L x24″ H plexiglass sneeze guard on evaluation table
  • Student and Evaluator social distance of 3 feet on either side of table
  • Professional grade air filter that filters a variety of airborne particles including viruses.
  • Use of plastic sleeves and folders to minimize surface contamination of papers used during testing.
  • Academic screening – a brief assessment of a student’s current level of functioning in reading, writing and math.   This service is designed to update a student’s academic profile as they transition to the 2020/21 school year following remote learning experiences.

Observation

I observe students in their current or proposed school setting to gather information on how a student is responding to their program, or to evaluate the appropriateness of a program for a student’s learning needs.

Consultation

Assistance with students when there is limited consensus between the family and the school team or when collaboration with outside providers is required for optimal care.

Provide direct consultation to teaching staff to assess behavior and learning needs and assist in implementation of specific interventions.

Provide advocacy to parent at school meetings in a clinical, rather than a legal role.

In Service

I conduct workshops and other types of training in Dyslexia, Language-based instruction, math learning difficulties, ADHD and executive function disorders.
