Common questions
What can I expect during an evaluation?
The evaluation process begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns, your child's history, and whether an evaluation is the appropriate next step. Assessment is then completed using standardized measures, clinical observation, and informal assessments, depending on your child's needs. Results are carefully analyzed and integrated into a comprehensive report with individualized recommendations. A feedback meeting is held to review findings, answer questions, and discuss practical next steps.
How do I know if my child needs an evaluation?
An evaluation may be helpful if your child is experiencing persistent difficulties with:
- Language comprehension
- Reading comprehension
- Written expression
- Vocabulary development
- Communication
- Executive functioning
- Speech fluency
A comprehensive evaluation can help identify strengths, clarify concerns, and guide recommendations.
Do you work with reading and writing difficulties?
Yes.
Many children experience challenges with reading comprehension, written expression, vocabulary, inferencing, and other language-based literacy skills.

Do you collaborate with schools and other professionals?

Collaboration with parents, educators, psychologists, and other professionals is often an important part of supporting a child’s progress and promoting consistency across settings.
