I offer comprehensive psychoeducational assessments for students either in person in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas or remotely anywhere in California. Whether conducted in person or virtually, I am able to provide a thorough and comprehensive assessment that identifies how a student learns and what they need within their environment to reach their potential.
I provide thorough, strength-based assessments that examine all areas of suspected disability. I avoid tunnel vision by looking carefully and holistically at every student I work with. For example, if a student is referred for a dyslexia assessment but I notice characteristics of ADHD, I will expand the evaluation to include that area as well. My diagnostic process is designed to understand cognitive abilities, academic skills, social-emotional functioning, and behavioral patterns. By investigating areas such as ADHD, Autism, and learning differences like dyslexia or dyscalculia, I create a detailed profile of each student’s learning style. Based on this unique profile, I develop tailored recommendations and strategies to support the student’s needs and help shape an environment where they can truly learn and flourish.
A twice-exceptional assessment involves identifying students who possess exceptional talents or abilities alongside learning or developmental challenges. My evaluations determine if a student is twice-exceptional and provide a thorough list of recommendations and strategies specifically tailored to their strengths and needs. I also offer gifted and IQ testing to gauge an individual’s cognitive abilities and intellectual potential through standardized assessments of reasoning and problem-solving.
An Independent Educational Evaluation is conducted when parents seek an unbiased and comprehensive analysis of their child’s learning needs. This evaluation assesses academic performance, cognitive abilities, social-emotional development, and any specialized requirements. The goal is to offer an alternative perspective to support informed decision-making regarding educational planning and services.
