I’m Here to Help
Usually by the time parents consider having their child evaluated, they are overwhelmed and have endured months or even years of watching their child struggle.
Frequently, families who reach out to me are wondering if their child meets criteria for a Specific Learning Disability, AD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and/or if their child would qualify for supports through an IEP or 504 plan. Through a comprehensive and integrative approach, I can work with you to answer these questions and seek appropriate services to support your child.
