A psychological evaluation helps families understand their child’s behavioral, emotional, and/or learning challenges. This process can be critical for guiding mental health treatment, accommodations for school (e.g., 504 Plans) and college, and modifications to your child’s educational curriculum (e.g., Individualized Education Programs or IEPs).

Common referral concerns include:

• Learning disorders

• Attention and executive functioning difficulties (e.g., disorganization, difficulty planning and organizing, problems transitioning between activities, impulsivity)

• Social communication vulnerabilities

• Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ADHD, autism, intellectual disability)

• Behavior problems

• Mood symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, irritability)
