In addition to therapy, I also specialize in neuropsychological assessment of children and adults with attention deficits (ADHD), learning disabilities and emotional/ behavioral problems such as depression or anxiety. Assessments typical explore individual strengths and weaknesses across a variety of domains including cognitive functioning (IQ), language, visual-spatial abilities, memory and learning, executive functioning, attention, and social-emotional functioning. Test results are used to guide interventions. For children, school visits are employed to observe a child's functioning in his/ her environment. I will often meet with the child's education team at the conclusion of testing to explain test results and to discuss suggested interventions.
