During the evaluation, we will conduct a series of standardized assessments and interactive tasks designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s cognitive and academic profile. These activities may include:

• Tablet-based tasks (e.g., visual memory games, pattern recognition)
• Paper-and-pencil exercises (e.g., problem-solving puzzles, fine motor tasks)
• Basic academic skill assessments, such as:
  • Reading comprehension
  • Writing fluency
  • Math problem-solving

The environment is designed to be supportive and engaging, helping us gather accurate insights into learning style, strengths, and areas that may need support.

Potentially, yes. Our comprehensive evaluation reports are often helpful in the process of obtaining educational accommodations, but public schools are not required to accept outside evaluations. Schools make decisions about accommodations under Section 504 or Special Education (IDEA) based not only on the presence of a diagnosis but also on the demonstrated educational need for support.

Many schools do choose to consider outside reports, especially when they are detailed and include the specific information schools look for. Thanks to our background in public education, we tailor our reports to align with school requirements and can guide you through the process of requesting support through your child’s school system.

Cognitive and achievement evaluations provide valuable insights that go far beyond diagnosing a learning difficulty. Key benefits include:

• Understanding how an individual learns best (visual, auditory, processing speed, etc.)
• Identifying areas of strength and potential to support academic or professional growth
• Pinpointing specific learning challenges, such as dyslexia, ADHD, or processing disorders
• Guiding effective intervention plans, tutoring strategies, or therapy approaches
• Supporting applications for educational accommodations or special services

Whether you're a parent seeking clarity about your child's learning, an adult exploring your own learning profile, or a professional seeking to understand cognitive functioning, these assessments can be empowering and informative tools for long-term success.
