Our Approach

We want this consultation to be a supportive, empowering space for parents. Our licensed school psychologist reviews your child’s existing records to find out what is working and what isn’t. Our goal is to equip you with the insights and tools needed to advocate for your child’s unique learning profile.

Comprehensive Advocacy Insights

Is a Consultation Right for Your Family?

When to Consider an Educational Consultation

If you have a "gut feeling" that your child's current disability plan isn't working, or you feel stuck when communicating with their IEP team, a consultation provides clarity. It gives you an expert, objective perspective without the stress of jumping straight into a legal due process procedure.

Understanding Our Scope

We focus on dyslexia and related learning differences, empowering the education of each child.

Primary Autism Diagnosis

01

We don’t assess or provide care for a primary diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, as our specialty is rooted in language and math-based learning disabilities.

Advanced Behavioral Needs

02

Our staff doesn’t test for severe behavioral or emotional disorders. We concentrate our assessments purely on the cognitive patterns linked to learning disabilities.

Standalone ADHD Diagnosis

03

While many of our students have ADHD, we don’t evaluate it as a singular condition. We assess attention specifically in the context of academics.
