Does your child struggle in school?
Is your child meeting their academic potential?
Do you wonder if there is a reason your child is frustrated with school work?
Could it be a learning disability or ADHD?
My individualized assessments identify areas of strength and weakness and your child’s unique learning style. Together, we can initiate the path to a more positive educational experience.
Need help with Parenting?
Do you want to understand your child better?
Do you feel like you have tried everything and now tend to give up or give in?
Are you looking for better communication between you and your child?

Coaching
How can my child use assessment results to improve their school performance?
Can my child become more organized and independent in their school work?
How can my child apply different strategies to their own learning?
What are Executive Functioning skills and why are they so important for school success?
How are my assessments different?
Your child and I work together from start to finish. I personally spend time getting to know your child and how they react to accomplishments and cope with challenges. The hours I spend with your child allow me to write helpful and personal reports. In addition to scores, data, and diagnoses, my reports truly help identify strengths and weaknesses and are intended to help you, your child, and the school really understand the student and how to help them succeed. My reports are comprehensive, clearly written, and explained for YOU and the STUDENT to understand.
I use the most up-to-date assessment tools and am well-trained and experienced in measures of cognitive ability, academic achievement, attention, executive functioning, and social-emotional development.
Parenting and coaching work compliment the assessment as both you and your child learn how to utilize the results to improve learning and communication while decreasing frustration and conflict.
